Diesel Rebate Scheme
Diesel rebate rates
The quarterly diesel repayment rate is calculated using the national average purchase price. The Central Statistics Office provides this information.
The repayment rate is calculated on a sliding scale basis:
- There will be no repayment when the price, including VAT, is at or below €1.23 per litre.
- The maximum amount repayable was 7.5 cent per litre when the price, including VAT, was €1.54 per litre or over up until 31/12/2019.
- From 01/01/2020 the maximum amount repayable is 7.5 cent per litre when the price, including VAT, is €1.43 per litre or over.
This rate will be set approximately ten days after the end of each claim period.
