I am advised by Revenue that the aggregate value of receipts collected from Carbon Tax, plus the Excise and VAT on petrol, auto diesel and other products that carry a carbon charge, is estimated at €3.5 billion for 2018.
A breakdown of these receipts is provided in the following table.
| € Millions | |
|---|---|
| Light Oils | 598 |
| Heavy Oils | 1,565 |
| LPG | 0.20 |
| Carbon Tax | 431 |
| VAT | 858 |
| Total | 3,452 |
