I am advised by Revenue that a 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 can be provided.

The total excise tax receipts for Mineral Oil Tax (MOT) and the estimated VAT receipts in respect of fuel for the past five years and the year to date are provided in the table below.

Revenue does not hold data relating to the NORA levy which is administered by the National Oil Reserves Agency.
