I am advised by Revenue that the Mineral Oil Tax, Carbon Tax and VAT collected on petrol and auto diesel for the year 2015 is contained in the following table:

PetrolMineral Oil TaxCarbonVATTotal
€m€m€m€m
2015767.962.3364.11,194.3
Auto DieselMineral Oil TaxCarbonVATTotal
€m€m€m€m
20151,307.8158.173.61,539.5

It should be noted that the VAT receipts are estimated, as the VAT returns do not require the yield from a particular activity or sub-sector of trade to be identified and the actual VAT yield for each category cannot therefore be determined.

A breakdown by sector of the users of petrol or diesel is not available, however it should be noted that the data for auto diesel does not include Marked Gas Oil (MGO or green diesel) that is primarily used in the agricultural sector.
