In 2023, Hungary led European countries in environmentally related tax revenue from taxes on pollution in water collection, treatment, and supply, with a value of 17.54 million USD PPP. Slovakia and France followed, despite both experiencing declines, with Slovakia showing a significant decrease of 7.35%. Notable growth occurred in Latvia, with a remarkable increase of 114.78%, while the Czech Republic suffered the steepest decline of 36.91%. Over the past five years, growth trends were positive in Hungary, Serbia, and Austria but negative in Slovakia, Italy, and the Czech Republic.
Looking forward, increased regulatory changes and public investments in sustainable water management will likely influence tax revenues. Countries that are aligning their policies with international environmental standards may see a gradual increase or stabilization in environmentally related tax revenues.
