In 2023, Italy led Europe in environmentally related tax revenue from water collection, treatment, and supply, while Iceland had the least. Ireland and Switzerland saw significant year-on-year growth, at 24.97% and 6.47% respectively, while Finland, Latvia, and Denmark experienced the largest declines. Over a five-year period, sluggish growth characterized the sector, with many countries facing declines, particularly in Northern Europe.
Future trends to watch include potential policy shifts influencing increased tax revenues across European countries. Additionally, economic and environmental strategies, such as sustainable water management and infrastructural investments, could significantly alter tax structures and revenue allocations.
