    Does anybody know anything about this tax which is about to hit us on May 1st. I have just received a text from my home heating oil supplier advising to book a delivery before May to beat this tax.

    Carbon tax
    The carbon tax will be increased by €5 to €20 per tonne of CO2 emitted on fossil fuels.

    The increase will apply to petrol and auto-diesel from midnight, 6 December 2011. Find out more about the impact of this change on page 21 of the Taxation Annexes document (pdf).

    The increase will apply from 1 May 2012 to kerosene, Marked Gas Oil, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), fuel oil and natural gas. (This is to take account of the effect the increase would have on home heating costs over the winter months.)

    The carbon tax will not apply to solid fuels, so there will be no increases for peat or coal.


    The above is taken from the citizens advice website

    Regards

    DC

    works out approx. 1.5c / litre inc vat

    so on full (1000 litre delivery) its €15.

    I prefer to take the chance that oil prices will soften by a hell of a lot more than that as we move into September - it is a US election year and oil prices are creeping into the election.
