It should be noted that
(i) these receipts figures are provisional and may be subject to some minor amendment;
(ii) the excise system makes no distinction between motor fuel used in commercial and private vehicles and accordingly a breakdown of receipts along these lines is not available;
(iii) as VAT returns are not compiled in a manner which would enable the yield from particular goods and services to be identified, the figures for VAT are estimated.
