3. Statistical presentation Top
3.1. Data description

Data presents environmental tax revenue (by tax category - energy, transport, pollution and resource taxes) broken down by economic activity (tax payer), using the NACE classification for production activities extended to cover taxes payable by households and non-residents.

3.2. Classification system

Environmental tax revenue is broken down by:
A. type of environmental tax,
B. sector/industry of tax payer

A. Classification according to type of environmental tax

For analytical purposes, the environmental taxes are divided into four categories:
1. energy taxes (including CO2 taxes),
2. transport taxes,
3. pollution taxes,
4. resource taxes (excluding taxes on oil and gas extraction).

B. Environmental taxes by economic activity

Environmental tax revenues are allocated to the different tax payers:
• by economic activity according to the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE Rev.2)
• households as consumers
• non-residents
• not allocated (impossible to be allocated to one of the categories mentioned above)

3.3. Coverage - sector

Environmental taxes by economic activity data cover taxes payable by all sectors of the economy: producers (economic activities by NACE), households as consumers as well as non-residents. 

3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions

 The environmental tax statistics are compiled based on Eurostat’s 2013 'Environmental taxes - a statistical guide'. Environmental tax is defined as "A tax whose tax base is a physical unit (or a proxy of a physical unit) of something that has a proven, specific negative impact on the environment, and which is identified in ESA2010 as a tax".

Environmental tax statistics are part of European environmental economic accounts, which constitute satellite accounts to national accounts. Thus, environmental tax statistics follows ESA2010 definition of ‘taxes’. Consequently, only payments that are identified as taxes in the national accounts can be reported as environmental taxes whereas other types of payments to government are not excluded from the scope of the data collection. Compliance with the tax definition of the national accounts improves international comparability of the statistics, and is in line with the guidance, concepts and definitions of the System of environmental and economic accounting (SEEA).

3.5. Statistical unit

Data refer to environmental taxes collected by the government and payable by the different economic agents.

3.6. Statistical population

The target population are all production sectors by NACE, households as consumers and non-residents.

6. Institutional Mandate Top
6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements

Statistics on environmental taxes are based on Regulation (EC) No. 691/2011 (Annex II) on European environmental economic accounts as amended by Regulation 538/2014, as well as legal acts in the area of national accounts. Data transmission became obligatory in September 2013. Before, Eurostat collected the data on a voluntary basis.

The basis for the national accounts tax aggregates is Table 9 "Detailed tax and social contribution receipts by type of tax or social contribution and receiving sub-sector including the list of taxes and social contributions according to national classification" of the ESA2010 transmission programme - Annex B of Regulation (EU) No. 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union. Moreover, Commission Regulation (EC) N° 995/2001 of 22 May 2001 implementing Council and European Parliament Regulation (EC) N° 2516/2000 of 10 July 2000 on the recording of taxes and social contributions sets the rules for the data sources, time of recording and comparable treatment of taxes and social contributions assessed but unlikely to be collected.

The European Parliament and Council decided environmentally related taxes by economic activity shall be provided, through Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 on European environmental accounts adopted on 6 July 2011.

These environmentally related taxes are an important policy instrument to influence economic behaviour by “getting the prices right”.

These statistics are consistent with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA-CF) adopted the United Nations Statistical Commission as a world-level statistical standard in March 2012.

19. Comment Top

A nem rezidensek arányát a legutóbbi AEA-számlák alapján számítják ki. 2021-re még nincs AEA arányunk. A 2021-es nem rezidens adatok kiszámításához a 2020-as adatokat használtuk. A nem rezidensek adatait csak a szállítási adókra tudjuk kiszámítani.

Magyarországon minden CO2 adó ETS CO2 adó volt.

Nincs információnk más, környezetvédelemmel kapcsolatos kifizetésekről.
