3 Rationale for fuel taxation Why taxing fuel? Many countries tax road fuels primarily to raise revenue. Demand for these fuels tend to be relatively inelastic (price elasticity near 0) fuel taxes tend to be a stable revenue source. From an economic perspective taxes on road fuels may also be used to internalise environmental externalities or other social costs (congestion, traffic accidents, etc.) associated with their use. Road fuel taxation could be seen as Pigouvian tax imposing a tax on an activity with negative social costs in order to internalise these costs, ensuring that fuel users incorporate the full use costs into their decisions. Optimal taxation postulates (Ramsey taxation) that higher taxation should be imposed on goods with relatively inelastic demand in order to minimize the reductions in welfare. Distributional concerns.
4 How Europe has been taxing fuels Road fuels are taxed more heavily than non-road fuels tax preference for diesel relative to gasoline. Fuel taxation accounts for around half of the pump price of fuel in every EU member state, and in many cases, much more. Almost all countries charge significantly less for diesel than gasoline exception has been UK Low levels of diesel tax encourage higher proportions of diesel car sales and more vehicle use. Fuel should be taxed on the basis of its energy content with similar rates of excise duty applied to gasoline and diesel fuels to avoid market distortions leading to dieselisation.
5 An overview of fuel taxation in the EU: road transport Final energy consumption, EU-28, 2014 (% of total, based on tonnes of oil equivalent) Greenhouse gas emissions, analysis by source sector, EU- 28, 2014 (percentage of total) Road transport is the single biggest non-included sector in the ETS.

9 An overview of fuel taxation in the EU: contribution to climate change Preventing climate change is a strategic priority for the EU. The EU has legislated to achieve a 20% reduction of GHG emissions by 2020 below 1990 levels. In January 2014, the European Commission issued a communication proposing a next step for 2030: the EU should reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% compared with 1990 levels. Different sectors will contribute differently towards achieving decarbonisation of the EU s economy. The White Paper on Transport established that a reduction of at least 60% of GHGs by 2050 with respect to 1990 is required to achieve the overall target. It also established an interim target of 20% GHG reductions compared to 2008 by 2030.
10 An overview of fuel taxation in the EU: evolution of transport emissions without additional measures Source: Eurostat- European Commission, 2013 The figure clearly suggests that without significant transport emission cuts the EU s 2030 and certainly 2050 goals are not achievable.
11 An overview of fuel taxation in the EU: the 2003 Energy Taxation Directive In October 2003 the Energy Taxation Directive (ETD - DIRECTIVE 2003/96/EC) became law. The Directive had some key shortcomings no binding review clauses or automatic inflation adjustments were included minimum taxation levels have not been updated In 2011 the EC proposed a revision of the ETD (same taxes for both diesel and gasoline, a CO2 element into energy taxation, etc.) On April 2012 the proposal was rejected (double burden for sectors already affected by the ETS, economic crisis). The proposal was withdrawn by the Commission in 2015.
12 An overview of fuel taxation in the EU: vs. taxation Excise Duty (Euro/1000 lt) Situation as at 1 February PT UK DK DE IT GR SE FI Minimum (330 Euro/ lt) Minimum (359 Euro/ lt) Excise duties on diesel closer to the minimum Source: European Commission
13 Our research question Assessment gasoline taxation and diesel taxation based on several criteria: Criteria i. Tax Burden of fuel taxation (gasoline vs diesel) Static efficiency ii. Raising revenue (generate revenues) Economic Efficiency iii. Internalize negative externalities (GHG emissions) Effectiveness iv. Sustainable economic growth (long term technological change) Dynamic efficiency v. Distributive effects (fiscal equity) Distributive justice vi. Tax implementation and compliance Feasibility There exists a trade off between Economic efficiency and Effectiveness optimal taxation says that policymakers must tax price inelastic demand goods (ii) but internalizing negative externalities (shaping consumer behavior) demands that goods (fuel) have more price elastic demand (iii). We use two models to handle this apparent trade-off (Economic efficiency/ Effectiveness) to assess the gasoline taxation and diesel taxation
14 Methodological framework: the choice of criteria (1) Model Economic Efficiency Tax instruments are often evaluated based on the following criteria: Designation Description Min Min Min Min Max Max Share of tax (Absolute) Price Price advantage of Income elasticity of Tax burden on energy Elasticity of Energy Maturity diesel energy demand prices Demand Fuel tax Excise tax in revenue in per cent of Relationship between Price differential per cent of pre-tax the changes in prices (including taxes) Relationship between total revenues energy of a certain good and between diesel and changes in income Years from entering into from taxes prices plus demand. super unleaded and demand of a force until 2016 and social gasoline divided by certain good. the excise contributions the latter. tax (%) (%)

16 Methodological framework: Performance Evaluation using Value-Based DEA Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach for evaluating the relative efficiency of Decision-Making Units (DMUs). Each DMU uses multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. Different models for DEA seek to determine the DMUs that form the efficient frontier. DEA identifies benchmarks against which the inefficient units can be compared. The Value-Based DEA method builds on multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) since the input and output factors are converted into utility functions according to the preference information provided by decision-makers. The DMU being evaluated is allowed to choose the inputs and outputs weights that minimizes the score d, which corresponds to the distance defined by the utility difference to the best of all DMUs, excluding itself from the reference set. If d < 0, the DMU is efficient, otherwise the DMU is inefficient and an efficient target is determined.

18 Methodological framework: Electre Tri Devoted to the sorting problem, i.e., a given a course of action is classified into pre-defined ordered categories of merit according to its absolute performances. A methodological framework based on MCDA has also been used. The assignment of each action to a category is done by comparing its value in each criterion to the performances of the reference alternatives. Actions are assigned to 5 categories of merit: (C 1 ) Very bad; (C 2 ) Bad, (C 3 ) Fair; (C 4 ) Good and (C 5 ) Very Good, according to the multiple evaluation criteria. Each reference profile represents simultaneously the upper limit of a category and the lower limit of the next category, as shown in Fig. The cutting level, which determines the exigency of the classification, was constrained to the interval [0.51, 0.67], corresponding to a simple majority and a two-thirds majority requirement, respectively.

27 Conclusions/Policy implications High fuel taxes do not appear to drive the market towards lower CO₂ emissions. In some countries the revenue raising appears to be a significant priority. The environmental and other externalities associated with gasoline and diesel use do not support the lower tax rates that currently apply to diesel. Using taxation to lower the relative price for diesel may lead to a rebound effect by encouraging car owners to drive more or to purchase a larger vehicle Fuel should be taxed on the basis of its energy content with similar rates of excise duty applied to gasoline and diesel fuels to avoid market distortions leading to dieselisation. Policymakers have to consider other instruments (based in CO 2 emissions) alongside tax changes to encourage fuel efficient lower-carbon vehicles such as vehicle registration tax, circulation tax, company car taxation, etc. Member States should coordinate their fuel taxation policies.
28 Future work Consider different metrics based on surveys conducted with the stakeholders involved; Extend the analysis to other complementary measures to encourage fuel efficient lower-carbon vehicles; Explore distributional effects of fuel policies, eventually considering the impacts of revenue recycling; Further extend the analysis to other countries within the EU, explicitly considering the problem of fuel tourism".
