107. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the nominal value of VAT collected with respect to petrol and diesel in each of the years 2017 to 2023, respectively.; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15936/24]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that traders are not required to identify the VAT yield generated from the supply of specific goods and services on their VAT returns. Therefore, it is not possible to provide the value of VAT collected with respect to petrol and diesel using information provided on tax returns.
However, using Revenue’s excise clearances volumes and available third party data on average prices per litre, an estimate of the annual VAT for the years requested is provided in the following table.
