I am advised by Revenue that the receipts raised from the Sugar Sweetened Drinks Tax (SSDT), broken down by applicable SSDT band, are published on the Revenue website at the following link: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/sugar-tax/index.aspx.
The provisional receipts to the end of February 2024 are €5.7m, made up of €0.1m in SSDT Band 1 (total sugar content between 5mg and 8mg per 100ml) and €5.6m in SSDT Band 2 (total sugar content in excess of 8mg per 100ml).
