Summary

Taxation is one of the most important government policies affecting energy use and therefore the environmental problems (such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution) to which various forms of energy use can give rise. This report provides the first systematic comparative analysis of the structure and level of energy taxes in all OECD countries. It presents effective tax rates on energy use in terms of both energy content and carbon emissions, together with detailed graphical profiles of both the structure of energy use and energy taxes in each country. It is a data-rich tool that will help policy makers and analysts to evaluate the role and impact of current energy tax settings and to plan potential reforms. The report offers comparative statistics on and graphical profiles of all 34 OECD countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States
