“…In 2014, at the local level [18], research was conducted in the city of Stockholm, and it was concluded that "the tax had a significant effect on ethanol car purchases"; in other words, taxation and the presence or absence of tax incentives significantly affected the acquisition of low-pollution vehicles. The same conclusion was obtained in 2015 [19] in a study in the Netherlands, which found that "tax incentives directly affect the purchase of electric vehicles" and that "car tax incentives are the main driver for lower CO 2 -emitting passenger cars.

This article describes research that was carried out regarding the tax incentives in Spain associated with the “eco-friendly car,” which are reflected in its share of taxes on motor-driven vehicles. The study focused on the electric vehicle, the hybrid, and the liquefied petroleum gas vehicle. First, the current regulatory framework was addressed. The maximum bonus limits were considered, as well as how each of 68 cities examined the incentives. The qualitative and quantitative differences among the Spanish cities were discussed. Next, the annual tax savings on the Tax on motor vehicles (IVTM) quota were calculated, and the differences in the tax savings depending on the municipality and type of vehicle were noted, as well as the temporal duration of the bonus. Finally, the average tax savings were calculated based on the type of vehicle, power and municipality. It is clear that, although the tax incentives are positive, they must be complemented by other measures if the public authorities in Spain want to achieve a change in mentality and an increase in the acquisition of “eco-friendly cars” that eliminate pollutants (powered by the combustion of gasoline or diesel).

“…The marginal damage caused by emitting one tonne of CO2 caused by the feebate is assumed to be EUR 60. 12 This is within the range of the results from the Stern-Stiglitz Commission which recommends carbon prices of at least USD 40-80 per tonne of CO2 by 2020 (High-Level Commission on Carbon Prices, 2017 [19]). In line with the approach taken in the OECD's recent publication on Effective Carbon Rates (OECD, 2018 [20]), EUR 30 is used as a low-end estimate.…”

“…4 Most common among these studies is the narrow focus on the impact of the policy on CO2 emissions and the related issue of fuel efficiency. This applies to assessments of the French vehicle feebate system (D'Haultfoeuille, Givord and Boutin, 2014 [2]; D'Haultfoeuille, Durrmeyer and Février, 2016 [3]); Swiss annual vehicle registration feebates (Alberini et al, 2018 [10]); CO2-based tax incentives in the Netherlands (Kok, 2015[11]) as well as in France, Germany, and Sweden (Klier and Linn, 2015 [12]); and fuel efficiency-related changes to the Danish registration tax on private vehicles (Mabit, 2014[13]).…”

“…In several countries, the incentives take the form of one-off excise taxes on the purchase of new vehicles (Brand et al, 2013), with the tax rate positive and high for high emitters and low (or even negative) for low emitters, as in France (Klier and Linn, 2015; D'Haltfoueiulle et al, 2014), Finland (Stitzing, 2015), Sweden (Huse and Lucinda, 2013;Klier and Linn, 2015), the Netherlands (Kok, 2015), Denmark (Mabit, 2014) and/or an annual registration fee (also termed circulation tax 2 ) linked to the CO 2 emissions rates of the vehicle, as in the UK, Germany, and Sweden (Cerruti et al, 2015;Klier and Linn, 2015;Kok, 2015). In principle, all of these fees can be structured as feebates, where the revenues from imposing taxes on high emitters are used to finance refunds to low emitters (Anderson et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. In Switzerland, the annual circulation taxes on road vehicles are set by and paid to the cantons (not to the federal government). We exploit the 26 different circulation tax rules and their variation over time, which we interpret as a natural experiment, to see if linking them to a vehicle's CO 2 emissions rate has helped shift new car sales towards lower-emitting vehicles. We find that even when the penalty associated with a highly polluting vehicle is high, the effect is relatively small. For example, in canton Zurich, imposing a 50% "malus" on the annual registration fee for cars that emit 200 or more grams of CO 2 per kilometer reduces the average CO 2 emissions rate from new cars by only 0.46 gram per kilometer, bringing it to 158.11 grams per kilometer in 2011. A similar effect would be attained with a modest increase in fuel taxes. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may
