Motor fuel taxes should also account for congestion and other externalities associated with vehicle use, at least until mileage-based taxes are widely introduced. An examination of existing energy/environmental tax systems in Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and Vietnam suggests that there is substantial scope for policy reform. This includes harmonizing taxes for pollution content across different fuels and end-users, better aligning 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aTaxation$xReform 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aTaxation$xReform. 700 $aHeine$b Dirk$0993801 701 $aParry$b Ian W.
