Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 December 2023
190. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Finance the estimated full-year yield that would be generated if the electricity tax on large energy users increased to €3 per MW hour, in tabular form. [53222/23]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that it does not have the necessary data to model the potential impact of changes in the rate of Electricity Tax charged to any particular cohort of energy users. The annual Electricity Tax Return does not include any breakdown of supply by customer size.
I am further advised by Revenue that the full-year yield that would arise from increasing the current Electricity Tax rate from €1 to €3 per Megawatt hour for all users is estimated at €12.7m.
