Statistical presentation
Data description	Provision of information from firms, firm establishments, municipal administrations, scientific institutes, foundations, ministries and other organizations and departments which during the accounting year have paid for environmental taxes. This includes environmental taxes classified into categories: energy, transport, pollution and resource taxes.
Classification system	The following classifications are used to produce environmental tax data: • Classification of Economic Activities (NACE.BG-2008) as of 01.01.2008; • National tax list, as reported by National accounts in the table. 9 of the program for data transmission.
Sector coverage	Included are the economic subjects from all economic sectors, which during the accounting year have paid for environmental taxes
Statistical concepts and definitions	Environmental taxes have the same systemic boundaries as the SNA 2010 and consist of compulsory, unrequited payments in cash or in kind levied by the general government or by the institutions of the European Union. According to the SNA 2010, environmental taxes are a sub-category of indirect taxes and include: taxes on production and imports (D.2), current taxes on income, wealth, etc. (D.5) and capital taxes (D.9). An environmental tax is a tax whose tax base is a physical unit (or a proxy of a physical unit) of something that has a proven, specific negative impact on the environment, and which is identified in SNA as a tax. Types of environmental taxes - The main 4 categories of environmental taxes for which data is reported are: • Energy taxes: This category includes taxes on energy production and on energy products used for both transport and stationary purposes. The most important energy products for transport purposes are petrol and diesel. Energy products for stationary use include fuel oils, natural gas, coal and electricity. Carbon dioxide (CO2) taxes are also included under energy taxes. As a tax base for the emissions of CO2 are used the revenues from the Greenhouse gas emissions license (permits) fees under the Greenhouse emission trading system registered as taxes in national accounts. • Transport taxes: This category mainly includes taxes related to the ownership and use of motor vehicles, taxes on other transport equipment (e.g. planes, ships or railway stocks) and related transport services, road taxes. The transport taxes may be ‘one-off’ taxes related to imports or sales of the equipment or recurrent taxes such as an annual road tax. Taxes on petrol, diesel and other transport fuels are included under energy taxes. • Pollution taxes: Taxes on measured or estimated emissions to air and water, waste management and noise. • Resource taxes: Taxes on water extraction, hunting and fishing licenses, extraction of raw materials (e.g. sand and gravel) and other natural resources, commercial fishing. Value added type taxes (VAT), taxes on oil and gas extraction, fines and penalties for environmental pollution, donations are excluded from the definition of environmental taxes. Payments from consumers for provided certain environmental services by the state, such as wastewater treatment (discharge and treatment) and waste (household waste collection and disposal charge), are also excluded from the definition.
