In 2023, France led European environmentally related tax revenue in sports and recreation activities, followed by the Netherlands and the UK. Year-on-year growth was notable in France and Sweden, while substantial declines were observed in Bulgaria and Poland. Slovakia saw the highest growth at over 12%. Over the past five years, a compounded annual growth rate analysis reveals that environmentally related taxes have seen modest growth overall, with some countries like Slovenia showing promising increases.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of increased regulatory pressures for green initiatives within larger economies like Germany and the UK, and the adaptation of these sectors to shifts in tourism and recreational activities post-pandemic. Countries with lower current tax revenues may explore policy changes to boost their green revenue streams.
