Sweden plans introduction of CO2-based car taxes More news
10 March 2009The Swedish Government has said it plans to cut taxes on low carbon cars and raise them on others in an attempt to cut carbon dioxide emissions. The plans are included in proposals the Government will present in its energy and climate bill.
Sweden also plans increases in diesel and petrol taxes. Taxes on diesel are set to rise in two stages by SKr 0.4 (€0.03) per litre by 2013, and the registration tax by SKr 5 for every gram of CO2 over 120g/km emitted from 2010, the Government said. From next January, new, cleaner cars would be exempt from the registration tax for five years.
