The current rate of excise duty applied to a litre of argicultural diesel is 10.2c per litre while the current rate of excise applied to auto-diesel is 47.9c per litre.  It is a longstanding practice of the Minister for Finance not to comment in advance of the Budget on any tax matters that might be the subject of Budget decisions.
