Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 July 2021
90. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Finance the amount of funding raised to date through the application of the carbon tax on green diesel used by agricultural contractors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38452/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Carbon Tax receipts in respect of Marked Gas Oil (green diesel) for each of the years since its introduction in 2010 up to 2019 are published on the Revenue website at the following link:
www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/receipts-volume-and-price/excise-receipts-commodity.aspx. The provisional Carbon Tax receipts for 2020 are €65.3 million and may be subject to some minor adjustments.
I am advised by Revenue that receipts from Carbon Tax in respect of Marked Gas Oil are not recorded in a manner that allows extrapolation of the amounts directly attributable to agricultural contractors.
