e Trend (2019-2024) According to official data, Kosovo's environmentally based tax revenues were approximately 287.8 million Euros in 2019. With the developing economic activity, increasing number of vehicles and industrial production, this figure reached 377.7 million Euros in 2024. This 31% growth in total tax volume shows that legal cost pressure is increasing on sectors that pollute the environment or have a high carbon footprint.
