Vol. 417 No. 5
119 Mr. Noonan (Limerick East) asked the Minister for Finance if he will outline the estimated receipts from VAT in 1991 arising from the sale of, (1) petrol and (2) autodiesel; and the estimated receipts in 1992 for these categories of goods.
VAT returns are not completed in a manner which would enable the yield from particular items to be identified. Estimates of such receipts in 1991 are £111 million and £8.5 million for petrol and autodiesel respectively. These estimates are derived from non-VAT statistical information. Taking account of this year's budgetary initiatives, the total estimated VAT receipts in respect of these goods in 1992 is approximately £116 million.
