I am advised by Revenue that VAT returns do not require traders to separately identify the VAT yield from the supply of specific products or services. Therefore, the information required for estimating the VAT collected on fuel is not readily available from information provided on tax returns.

However, an estimate of the VAT collected on fuel (e.g. Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene, Marked gas oil, Natural gas, Electricity etc) using third party data sources and Revenue’s excise clearances for the past five years and to the end of July 2022 is provided in the table below.
