Families get winter reprieve on carbon tax
However, householders will not feel that particular pinch this winter as the carbon tax increase will not become effective until May next year.
A carbon tax increase of €14.40 is to be slapped on every 1,000 litres of kerosene, while every 13,750 kw/h of natural gas will cost an extra €14.46. Homeowners heating their houses with LPG will be paying an extra €9.33 for every 1,000 litres of fuel.
