INTRODUCTORY NOTE In collaboration with the Member States, the European Commission has established the “EXCISE DUTY TABLES” showing rates in force in the Member States of the European Union . As from 1 May 2004 this publication: * covers the 25 Member States of the EU and the two Accession Countries (Bulgaria and Romania); * has been devided into three different sections:

I Alcoholic Beverages II Energy products and Electricity III Manufactured Tobacco.

This publication aims to provide up-to-date information on Member States main excise duty rates as they apply to typical products. The information is supplied by the respective Member States. The Commission cannot be held responsible for its accuracy or completeness, neither does its publication imply and endorsement by the Commission of those Member States' legal provisions. It is intended that Member States will regularly communicate to the Commission all modifications of the rates covered by this publication and that revised editions of the tables will be published twice a year. To this end, it is vital that all changes to duty structures or rates are advised by Member States to the Commission as soon as possible so that they may be incorporated in the tables with the least possible delay. All details should be sent to Mrs Maria Makropoulou: e-mail [email protected] fax...................Int-32-2-295.56.58. telephone.........Int-32-2-295.83.70.

IMPORTANT REMARK

Concerning transitional arrangements for the "New member States"

of the European Union

Council Directive 2003/96/EC – Energy taxation Directive The energy taxation Directive (2003/96/EC – "energy Directive") was adopted in 2003 and defines the fiscal structures and the levels of taxation to be imposed on energy products and electricity. It replaces, with effect from 1 January 2004, Council Directive 92/81/EEC (on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils) and Council Directive 92/82/EEC (on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils). The energy Directive is in compliance with Community commitments to integrate environmental concerns into the energy taxation area and will improve the functioning of the Internal Market. The 2003 Treaty of Accession1 provided for transitional arrangements and specific measures for two new Member States2. In addition, two additional Council Directives for specific arrangements were adopted on 29 April 2004 (Directive 2004/74/EC3 and Directive 2004/75/EC4). Directive 2004/74/EC amends the energy Directive as regards the possibility for the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to apply temporary exemptions or reductions in the levels of taxation. Directive 2004/75/EC amends the energy Directive as regards the possibility for Cyprus to apply temporary exemptions or reductions in the levels of taxation.

Diesel used as a propellant in tractors and self-propelled machinery in agricultural, horticultural and piscicultural works is taxed at a reduced rate: Class 1 SEK 1645(EUR 176,74). SE: The sulphur tax on peat, coal, petroleum coke and other solid or gaseous products is set at SEK 30 (EUR 3,22) per kg of sulphur in the fuel. The sulphur tax on liquid fuels – such as diesel oils,

heating gas oils and heavy fuel oils is SEK 27 (EUR 2,90) per m3 of oil for each tenth of a per cent by weight of the sulphur content. However, oil products with a sulphur content of a maximum of 0,05 per cent by weight is exempted from tax. Since all motor fuels have a sulphur content below 0,05 per cent the sulphur tax on motor fuels is zero. When measures are taken to reduce emissions the tax can be repaid by SEK 30 (EUR 3,22) per kg of reduced emission.
