Environmental Taxation in Greece
Summary:
The environmental taxation in Greece has not been implemented as much in other European countries. A positive step towards to a “green” reform of Greek taxation system is the new environmental tax on plastic bags. The Environmental taxation is applied to energy, transport and the depletion of natural resources. Examples of environmental taxation in Greece are the taxes on energy products and fossil fuels and registration taxes on vehicles. In practice, the application of environmental taxation faces several theoretical problems, such as the creation of a "right to pollution" and at application such as the international competition. A brief reference is made to examples of environmental taxation in third countries, the Green Fund, ETMEAP and the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). A tax reform is proposed with "green" taxes such as the introduction of carbon tax and the shift of the tax burden from labour and capital to polluting activities.
