Environmental Tax Reform in Western Balkan Countries

Abstract

This chapter's goal is to provide a comprehensive description of the environmental tax reform that has been implemented in Western Balkan nations and to examine how it has been carried out. The analysis of the environmental tax's effectiveness and its contribution to the promotion of green initiatives is another goal of the chapter. Since environmental taxation has the potential to address all facets of environmental protection, the goal of environmental taxation is, in theory, to factor environmental harm or negative externalities into prices to influence production and consumption choices in an eco-friendly direction.
