Recommendations for a sustainable EU-own flight ticket tax

Researchers, as part of the EU-funded FAIRTAX project, have proposed an EU-wide tax on flight tickets that would contribute to European sustainable development initiatives.

In previous decades, direct contributions from Member States’ national budgets have become the main source of funding for the EU budget. This has been widely criticised and it has been suggested that it should be replaced by a system whereby the EU is able to raise its resources through EU own taxes. The research team heading the Horizon 2020 FAIRTAX project has now linked this discussion over EU own resources with the central aim of the Europe 2020 strategy: to promote smart, inclusive and sustainable growth in the EU.

The central message of the study by economists Alexander Krenek and Margit Schratzenstaller, from Austrian FAIRTAX partner WIFO, is that a carbon-based flight ticket tax presents itself, as measured in terms of sustainability criteria, as a suitable candidate for an EU-wide tax.
