In 2023, environmental tax revenues from pollution in retail trade within Europe showcased significant diversity. The Netherlands led with high revenues, followed by the United Kingdom, Poland, France, and Denmark. Notable year-on-year growth occurred in the Netherlands and Denmark, contrasting with declines in Belgium, Norway, and Bulgaria. Over the past five years, compound annual growth rates signal a mix of growing and contracting markets influenced by shifts in environmental policies and economic conditions.
Looking forward, stakeholders should monitor shifts in environmental regulations, cross-border policy harmonization, and consumer behavior towards sustainable practices, which could transform the landscape of environmentally related tax revenue across Europe.
