Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 April 2025
348. Deputy Noel McCarthy asked the Minister for Finance the total revenue collected in 2024 from tobacco products tax; the total volume and retail value of the tobacco products sold to generate this revenue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16739/25]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the provisional 2024 receipts for Tobacco Products Tax (TPT), together with the declared volumes released for consumption are shown in the table below. The table also provides an estimate of the retail value of cigarettes released for consumption. I am further advised that as TPT for “Fine Cut” tobacco(for roll your own cigarettes), Cigars, and other smoking tobacco (e.g. for pipe smoking) is calculated on weight only, the available data does not permit an estimation of the total retail value of these products.
