Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 May 2013
121. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Finance the amount received from the carbon tax in 2012; if he will provide a breakdown of the amount that came from home heating and the amount from motor vehicles; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23172/13]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the net receipts for carbon tax in 2012 are set out in the table below. As home heating fuel can be kerosene, Marked Gas Oil, LPG or Natural Gas and as end use is not determined at the time of supply it is not possible to accurately provide the breakdown between receipts from home heating and motor fuel that the Deputy requests. Auto-diesel and Petrol carbon tax receipts would, in the main, be from motor fuel.
