Introduction of carbon tax

In line with several other countries introducing ‘greener’ tax measures, Austria is implementing a carbon tax from 1 July 2022. This aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Austrians will need to pay 30 Euros per tonne of CO2- this will rise to 55 Euros per tonne in 2025. The incentive behind this measure is to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive forms of transportation and heating, as well as opting for more climate-friendly choices.
