Abstract
This study analyses the effects of a revenue and technology neutral energy tax reform with tax rates based on CO2 emissions for households in Germany. The reform leads to an abolition of the current diesel subsidy, raising the price per litre of diesel by 19 cents and reducing it for petrol by 12 cents. The authors illustrate the socioeconomic differences between winners and losers and identify a progressive distributional effect with a tax relief for the majority. Even though most families benefit, the share of losers is disproportionately high. Households with eco-friendlier means of transportation benefit.
