The current rate of the NORA levy is 2 cent per litre, payable when oil is placed on the market. The levy was set at this rate in 2009. In 2018 the total NORA levy amounted to €134m. A one cent increase in the levy would, other things being equal, result in an increase of approximately €65m in the total annual amount.
