European Environmentally Related Tax Revenue from Taxes on Transport in Human Health Activities Share by Country (Million US Dollars PPP = 2015)

In 2023, Germany led the EU in environmentally related tax revenue from transport taxes linked to human health activities with a share of $21.26 million, showing a slight increase of 1.49% from the previous year. Other notable performers included Italy and Belgium, with values of $15.4 million and $13.99 million, respectively, though Belgium experienced a contraction. Portugal recorded a significant growth of 3.7%. Meanwhile, Eastern European countries showed lower figures, with Romania decreasing sharply by 13.46%. Estonia exhibited the highest positive change rate among smaller contributors, expanding by 9.16%.

Future trends to watch include the impact of evolving EU environmental regulations on tax revenues and the potential increase in national policies favoring green transport infrastructure. This may lead to a shift in tax revenues as more countries adopt eco-friendly transport policies to improve public health and environmental sustainability.
