Abstract

This chapter summarizes the corrective tax estimates for coal, natural gas, and motor fuels based on the assumptions discussed in previous chapters, both for selected countries and, using ranges of values in heat maps, for all countries, and then discusses the fiscal, health, and environmental impacts of tax reform. Various tables in Annex 6.2 provide full details of this information, country by country, including estimates of current fuel taxes or subsidies.
