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.
Manure surplus tax
Charged to businesses producing manure above the allowed quantities and to business supplying manure. There have been various kinds of tax since the late 1980s. The revenues are not used to solve the manure issue but go to the general budget. The manure surplus tax is therefore seen as an environmental tax not an environmental fee. The revenue from the phosphate reduction plan is included as from 2017.
