The report further explains the established definitions and rationales for the application of environmental taxes and offers a comprehensive overview of the use of environmental taxes in European countries. Specific developments in environmental taxation, focusing on energy and carbon taxes as well as vehicle taxation schemes, are discussed. It concludes with overall findings and some reflections on the potential for long-term tax-shifting programmes in the context of environmental and climate policy targets as well as technological innovation and demographic changes.
