From 2002 to 2003
TML analysed the optimal tax structure for the transport sector in five countries using the TRENEN model, resulting in the report ‘Reforming Transport Taxes’.
For five countries, the TRENEN model was used to identify the optimal tax structure for the transport sector and to what extent the current tax structure approximates it. The results of this project were discussed by the ECMT Council of Ministers at their annual meeting in May 2003. This project resulted in a book Reforming Transport Taxes, published by the OECD in December 2003. This report examines the economic principles for an efficient transport taxation system. It provides a framework for the international comparison of transport taxes and charges. The report looks at which taxes would emerge when the transport system aims to maximise wealth creation. The impact on each mode of transport is considered separately, as is the impact on the international competition of carriers.
