I am advised by Revenue that the receipts collected in respect of Fuel Taxes in each of the past ten years up to 2023 are published on the Revenue website at:

www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/excise/receipts-volume-and-price/excise-receipts-commodity.aspx.

The provisional receipts for the year to September 2024 are shown in the following table:

In relation to VAT, I am further advised by Revenue that traders are not required to separately identify the VAT yield generated from the supply of specific goods and services on their periodic VAT returns. Therefore, it is not possible to provide the VAT yield on all fuel and energy related products and services using taxpayer information alone. However, using Revenue and third-party data sources, a tentative estimate of the VAT generated over each of the past 10 years and to the end of August 2024 by fuel type is provided in the table below.
