In recent times, public concern for the environment has increased greatly. Numerous projects and awareness campaigns have emerged to reduce the negative impacts that society generates on the environment. As a result, territorial divisions have adopted measures of various kinds and, specifically, the autonomous community of Catalonia has established the CO2 tax with the aim of reducing emission levels in its territory. But did you know there is a way to save that money?
What is the CO2 tax?
The CO2 tax or “new tax on carbon emissions” is the latest levy established by the Generalitat de Catalunya to fight climate change and the greenhouse effect.
This tax affects all individuals or legal entities who own a car, van or motorcycle, with a tax address in Catalonia in 2020 or whose vehicle is registered in the community and exceeds 120 grams of CO2 per kilometre. It is proposed that for next year, this emission threshold will be reduced to 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
The amount of the tax ranges from 0.30 cents for vans that are at the established emission limit, up to €276 for motorcycles and cars that exceed it.
Who is exempt from paying this tax?
Not all vehicle owners have to pay this tax. Those who meet any of the following requirements are exempt from payment:
- Owners of electric vehicles
- All those vehicles that do not exceed that pollution level
- Vehicles that transport more than nine people, including the driver
- Diplomatic, health service and funeral vehicles
- Vehicles with historic registration or classic vehicles.
