Description topics
- Environmental tax revenues
- Revenues of taxes that aim to reduce environmentally damaging activities through a price increase. The revenues of these taxes flow into the general budget and are not dedicated to financing environmental measures. Examples of environmental taxes are excise duties on petrol, motor vehicle tax, energy tax and tax on passenger cars and motorcycles.
- Environmental taxes on products
- The following product-related taxes are environmental taxes: tax on groundwater, tap water, waste, petrol, energy and packaging. These come under the environmentally based tax act (Wet belastingen op milieugrondslag).
- Emission allowances
- Emission allowances consist of government revenues from the auctioning of emission permits for the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS). Companies that emit large amounts of CO2 are obliged to participate and have to surrender an emission allowance for every tonne of CO2 they emit. The Dutch government receives revenues from auctioning of ETS permits since 2011, but the system has been around for longer. The total of emission allowances is in line with the government figures from the National Accounts. The use of emission allowances per industry is based on the balance of the number of allowances surrendered and allowances received for free. Participating companies receive part of the allowances for free to compensate for the 'carbon leakage’ effect, the rest they have to buy on the market. For practical reasons, an average price was used. Actual costs for companies may differ because costs and revenues from emission allowance trading have not been taken into account.
