I am advised by Revenue that the total excise tax receipts in respect of fuel and energy for the past five years for Mineral oil tax (MOT) Solid fuel (SF), Natural Gas (NG) and Electricity Tax (ET) are provided in the table below.

A further breakdown of excise receipts for 2021 and prior years is available on the Revenue website at: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/receipts-volume-and-price/excise-receipts-commodity.aspx

In relation to VAT, I am further advised by Revenue that traders are not required to identify the VAT yield generated from the supply of specific goods and services on their VAT returns. Therefore, it is not possible to provide the VAT yield on all fuel and energy related products and services using taxpayer information alone. However, using Revenue and third-party data sources a tentative estimate of the VAT generated over each of the past 5 years is provided in the table below.
