Environmental Charges Act - Estonia carbon tax

Last updated: 26 March 2024

The Estonia carbon tax is part of the Environmental Charges Act (Keskkonnatasude seadus), which aims to limit environmental pollution. The tax strengthens and complements incentives created under the EU ETS, adding additional carbon costs to thermal generators and capturing some industrial fuel-use not captured under the ETS.
