Written answers

I am advised by Revenue that €209.2 million was collected in Carbon Tax for the period January to May 2020. This is an increase of €20.7 million over the same period in 2019.

It is important to note that for the period January to May 2019 carbon tax was charged at €20 a tonne, while in the period January to May 2020 carbon tax on petrol and auto-diesel was charged at €26 a tonne.

The increase to €26 per tonne for other oils became effective from 1 May 2020 and will be reflected in tax receipts from June 2020.
