Regarding the VAT generated from liquid fuels, I am advised by Revenue that information is not available to provide this information, as traders are not required to separately identify the yield generated from an individual activity or product type on their VAT returns. However, using a combination of Revenue and third-party data, an estimate of the VAT yield across each of the different commodity types is provided below for the period January to April 2020 for the Deputy’s information.
