View answerI am advised by Revenue that increases in the carbon charge, as per the trajectory set out in Finance Act 2020, take effect on different dates depending on the fuel type. For petrol and auto diesel, the increase is applied in October each year. For all other fuels the increase is applied from 1 May of the following year.
I am advised by Revenue that the estimated cost of not proceeding with any scheduled increases to the carbon charge in 2026 or in 2027 is set out in the following table.
