Description
This text provides an overview of The Netherlands' policies aimed at incorporating environmental elements into the tax system, and of the analyses carried out for that purpose. Greening taxes involves using environmental taxes to further sustainable economic development. It is about using fiscal incentives to encourage firms to invest in environmentally better technologies. Greening taxes also aim to give households an incentive to adopt environmentally responsible behaviour. The Netherlands has already done a great deal to green taxes and new proposals formulated in the White Paper "Taxes in the 21st century" should make it even greener. The authors of this book, Willem Vermeend, State Secretary of Finance, and Jacob van der Vaart, Chairman of the Dutch Green Tax Commission, have made important contributions to green tax policies in The Netherlands. The Dutch experiences with greening taxes should be of interest to fiscal environmental policy-makers elsewhere in the world.
