Highlights • Evaluates a reform that partly replaces registration tax for cars by road pricing. • This reform is designed to be green. • Microeconomic model analysis shows that the reform is likely to yield a welfare gain. • It may, however, lead to increased CO2 emission.

    Abstract This paper analyses a tax reform, explicitly conceived by policy makers to be climate-friendly, that partly replaces a high vehicle registration tax by road user charging and allows for differentiation of the remaining registration tax by fuel efficiency. A microeconomic framework is proposed to analyse such a reform. For the case of Denmark, the analysis shows that the reform is likely to yield a significant and robust welfare gain. However, it seems not unlikely that CO2 emissions from passenger cars may increase as a result of the reform.
