View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated yield that could be raised in a full year through increasing the tax on cigarettes by 50 cents per packet of 20, with a pro rate increase on other tobacco products, is in the region of €60m, assuming no change in consumer behaviour.
