Comments on the figures Environmental taxes have shown a declining tendency from year 2000 till today in Denmark, Iceland and the EU27. In Sweden and Finland there has been a modest rise. Environmental taxes in the Nordic countries range from 5.4 per cent of the tax revenue in Iceland to 8.5 in Denmark. In all the countries taxes on energy have the highest share of environmental taxes, with taxes on transport coming second and taxes on pollution and resources only accounting for a minimal share of total taxes. However, taxes on transport are still substantial in Denmark and Finland. 18
