I am advised by Revenue that details on Alcohol Product Tax, including total volumes, applicable excise rates, and total liabilities by commodity and accounting period are available on the Revenue website at the following link:

www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/alcohol/alcohol-products-tax.aspx.

It is estimated that increasing current rates by 5%, 10%, and 15% would raise annual revenues by €64m, €128m, and €192m, respectively (VAT exclusive). This estimate assumes no change in consumer behaviour in response to the excise increase.
