The flight tax, aimed at cutting pollution from aviation, was introduced in 2018, amid the rise of the \u201cflight shame\u201d (flygskam) movement popularised by Greta Thunberg. But in its budget for next year, presented on Thursday, the centre-right coalition, which depends on the support of the far-right Sweden Democrats, said that from 1 July 2025 the tax would no longer apply. The move is expected to cut ticket prices from Sweden by 80 SEK (\u00a35.93) on European flights and 325 SEK (\u00a324.09) on those outside Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Erika Bjureby, a programme manager at Greenpeace Sweden, said: \u201cIt feels like the government is trying to dismantle as many climate policies as possible and does everything in its power to stop climate action. Although the move is likely to increase flying, and in turn lead to a rise in emissions, the government claims that overall its budget will cut emissions. It also announced a cut in taxes on wages, pensions, savings and petrol.<\/p>\n<p>The Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, said earlier this month that the flight tax had resulted in a \u201cheavy competitive disadvantage for Swedish airports. Now it is abolished.\u201d Meanwhile, Denmark has said it plans to implement a flight tax from 2025 to help fund the industry\u2019s green transition. By 2030 the country plans to make all domestic flights powered by 100% sustainable fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/sep\/19\/sweden-cuts-flying-tax-emissions\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-596\/\">Sweden cuts tax on flying despite admitting it would increase emissions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,2659,848,6109],"class_list":["post-133844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-flying","tag-sweden","tag-taxation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133844\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
