I propose to take Questions Nos. 212 to 214, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the only available breakdown of receipts from Carbon Tax is by the relevant fuel type as this is the basis of which the tax is charged. Carbon Tax receipts, broken down by fuel type, for years 2019 and 2020 are published on the Revenue website at link: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/receipts-volume-and-price/excise-receipts-commodity.aspx

The table below sets out the provisional Carbon Tax receipts by fuel type for 2021 (to end October 2021).
