What is the Carbon Tax?
As a gas customer in Ireland, Carbon Tax will appear on your gas bill.
The Government’s 2010 Finance Bill introduced a carbon tax which is applied to mineral oils, natural gas and solid fuels supplied for combustion in Ireland.
From 1st May 2024, the tax for natural gas is €56 per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted. All gas suppliers must apply the carbon tax to customer’s bills.
You’ll see the carbon tax rate on your bill as 0.01013 cent/kWh (0.01104 cent/kWh incl. VAT).
This is subject to a VAT rate of 9%.
