Excise duties
Introduction
Certain goods are subject to excise duty, such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and mineral oils (for example petrol, diesel and kerosene).
In Budget 2012 excise duty on a packet of 20 cigarettes was increased by 25 cent (including VAT) with a pro-rata increase on other tobacco products.
You can learn more about excise duties on the Revenue website.
