Environmental taxes, as part of the more general group of taxes, are compulsory payments to the government, where the benefits provided to the taxpayer are not directly linked to the payment. A tax is defined as an environmental tax if its base is \u2018a physical unit (or a proxy of it) of something that has a proven, specific negative impact on the environment\u2019. This approach, consistent with the international guidelines on environmental taxes, assigns primary importance to the tax base in deciding whether a tax is environmental or not, while the purpose stated by the tax legislator is not relevant. Hence, the revenue from environmental taxes can, in the legislation, be earmarked for environmental purposes or not. Environmental purposes cover environmental protection (including for example waste management and soil decontamination) as well as resource management (for example energy efficiency measures or production of electricity from renewable sources). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time series are consistent with the ‘General Government aggregates and Accounts’ released on October 2025 on IstatData<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 ‘National accounts’ theme, General Government statistics\/Annual account\/Taxes and social contributions by subsector’ sub-theme; General Government data are the main source for environmental tax revenue estimates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
