Pending proposals to 'overhaul' energy taxation
{"Image DocumentName": "Pending proposals to \u2018overhaul\u2019 energy taxation", "Image ImageDescription": "Now: VAT + min. excise taxes on m3 of fuels (from 2010 for unleaded petrol: 359, gasoil: 330, kerosine: 330, LPG: 125, NG: 2.6) From 2013 in support of sustainable growth: VAT + min. taxes with 2 elements. Based on CO2 emissions: Euro 20 per tonne of CO2 emissions. Based on energy content: Euro 9.6/GJ for transport fuels (petrol: 334, gasoil: 371); Euro 0.15/GJ for heating fuels (incl. coal) Expected to enter into force as of 2013 with long transitional periods until 2023 (delayed) Minima proposed to be reached by 2018: petrol: 360, gas oil: 390, kerosene: 392, LPG: 500, NG: Also significant minimum tax raises for heating fuels (gas oil, kerosene, fuel oil, LPG, NG, coal and coke) and modest raise for electricity. Impacts on motor fuels: due to the \u2018neutral taxes\u2019 increase in diesel or a reduction in gasoline rates, biofuels would be exempt from the CO2 element. Nine new MSs (incl. HU, SK) would not have to implement the CO2 element until Sources:  13 Apr Feb Feb 2014.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
