Cele artykułu stanowią identyfikacja, ocena podatków środowiskowych Polski i Korei Południowej oraz wskazanie potencjalnego obszaru współpracy – wymiany doświadczeń w zakresie podatków środowiskowych. Analizą objęto dane z okresu 2000-2020. W niektórych fragmentach, ze względu na dostępność danych, analizę zakończono na 2014 lub 2019 r. Jako metody badawcze wykorzystano krytyczną analizę literatury krajowej i zagranicznej, analizę aktów prawnych polskich i koreańskich stanowiących podatki środowiskowe w ujęciu porównawczym, analizę danych OECD z wykorzystaniem prostych metod statystycznych oraz elementów analizy porównawczej. W Polsce zidnetyfikowano cztery podatki środowiskowe: akcyzę na rodzaje produktów, które zostały uznane za szkodliwe dla środowiska, podatek od środków transportowych, podatek leśny i podatek rolny. W Korei Południowej do tej grupy zaliczono trzy podatki: od konsumpcji indywidualnej, samochodowy i od transportu, energii, środowiska. Pozytywnie oceniono podatki środowiskowe w Polsce i Korei Południowej, za kryterium przyjmując funkcje fiskalną oraz informacyjną. Wykazano, że wymiana doświadczeń byłaby pożądana, w szczególności w obszarze poprawy realizacji funkcji bodźcowej podatków obciążających zanieczyszczenie powietrza.

The article aimed to identify, to assess the environmental taxes in Poland and South Korea, and to indicate a potential area of cooperation - an exchange of experience on environmental taxes. The analysis covered data from the period 2000-2020. However, in some parts, due to the availability of data, the investigation was completed in 2014 or 2019. The research methods employed were a critical analysis of domestic and foreign literature, an analysis of Polish and Korean legal acts underpinning environmental taxes in a comparative approach, and an analysis of OECD data using simple statistical methods and benchmarking elements. Four environmental taxes were identified in Poland: an excise tax on types of products deemed harmful to the environment, a Vehicle Tax, a Forest Tax and an Agricultural Tax. In South Korea, three taxes were included: Individual Consumption Tax, Automobile Tax and Transportation, Energy, Environmental Tax. Environmental taxes in Poland and South Korea were evaluated positively, taking the fiscal and informative functions as criteria. However, it was shown that an exchange of experience would be desirable, particularly in the area of improving the implementation of the stimulating function of taxes that related to air pollution.

Theoretical background: In the light of the sustainable development paradigm, the concepts and categories of public finance science require verification. This issue concerns, among others, taxes in terms of making them pro-ecological. Therefore, the necessity to research shaping sustainable taxes is justified not only by its importance and topicality but also by the fact that it is not sufficiently recognized in the literature. In particular, this regards research into the Polish tax system.Purpose of the article: The article aims to identify and assess pro-ecological real estate tax allowances and exemptions applied within the local tax sovereignty on the example of municipal communes of the Silesian Voivodeship.Research methods: The article employed literature studies (due to the specific nature of the subject – mainly domestic), analysis of the economic aspect of legal acts, in particular local law, simple statistical methods, and elements of comparative analysis. Empirical research was carried out on a full sample (49) of municipal communes of the Silesian Voivodeship. The analysis covered all resolutions of municipal councils from five years, i.e., from 2017 to 2021 (and in some cases also from earlier years), regarding real estate tax allowances and exemptions. In total, this amounts to 580 resolutions, the provisions of which were in force from 2018 to 2021 and are still applicable in 2022.Main findings: The study identified pro-ecological real estate tax allowance and exemption provisions, introduced under the tax sovereignty by the councils of the surveyed municipal communes. The authors proposed their own classification of the preferences in question and carried out their assessment, also in a comparative approach. The conducted research provides the basis for positive verification of the adopted research hypothesis, assuming that pro-ecological real estate tax allowances and exemptions are applied by municipal authorities to a limited extent. Directions for further research on the discussed issues were outlined at the end.
