I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that it’s not possible to obtain an exact figure for VAT raised from electricity as traders are not required to identify specific activities on their VAT returns.

However, they do compile estimates based on the most recently available CSO / SEAI data.

Below are estimates for the VAT yield for 2019 and 2020;

2019 - 224 (€m estimate)

2020 – 228 (€m estimate)
