About this data
This dataset presents the data collected from OECD and partner economies on environmentally related tax revenue accounts with a breakdown by tax-base category and industrial activity. Taxes levied on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are explicitly reported in two sub-categories: an energy related part (recorded as an energy tax) and a non-energy related part, such as certain GHG emissions related to landfills or agriculture (recorded as a pollution tax). Four "memo items" (i.e. information items that do not change the total) are included: (i) Certain land taxes; (ii) Taxes on oil and natural gas extraction; (iii) Taxes on the resource rent; (iv) Elevated value added taxes levied on environmentally related tax-bases. The OECD ERTR accounts are consistent with the existing data collection by Eurostat and are in line with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Central Framework (SEEA-CF). The dataset is updated on a biennial basis. For EU countries, it includes the information on ERTR accounts reported to Eurostat.
