The carbon tax has been levied at a rate of €20 per tonne of CO2emissions for all fuels subject to the carbon tax since May 2013.
I am assuming that the Deputy is referring to the revenue raised from carbon taxes levied in each of the respective years. This information is provided in the table below. 2019 figures are to date and figures are subject to rounding to the nearest million.
