Law on the Reduction of CO2 Emissions - CO2 levy

The Liechtenstein carbon tax was implemented in line with bilateral treaty that requires Liechtenstein to adopt Swiss federal legislation on environmental taxes to maintain equivalent competitive conditions. The share of revenues calculated to be attributable to fuel use by ‘natural persons’ and one third of the amount attributable to industry is used to finance environmental policy measures. The remainder is paid to employers under the Liechtenstein old-age and survivors' insurance (AHV) policy. The tax complements the EU ETS, covering emissions from fuel combustion not captured under the ETS.
