Green Tax Services
Home Services Tax Global Trade & Green Taxes Green Tax Services

Green Tax Services

Green taxation has become a central component of regulatory compliance and sustainability strategy. Businesses are facing an expanding landscape of environmental taxes, reporting obligations, and decarbonisation measures that require accurate data, robust processes, and aligned governance structures.

Our specialists support clients across energy taxation, CBAM, plastics regulation, and emissions trading. We combine technical regulatory expertise with strong operational understanding to deliver practical, implementable solutions that enhance compliance, reduce risk, and support cost‑efficient sustainability transitions.

Our Green Tax Services Portfolio

Energy and Electricity Tax

We support companies across the entire spectrum of energy and electricity tax obligations, from day to day compliance to strategic optimisation.

Our services include:

  • End to end review of existing energy and electricity tax processes, reliefs, refunds, and documentation
  • Identification of compliance risks and potential savings through targeted health checks
  • Design of governance structures, roles, responsibilities, and controls, including business partnering and interim management
  • Preparation, submission, and management of tax relief and refund applications
  • Development of guidelines, in house trainings, and information formats to embed strong energy tax compliance across the organisation

This ensures a robust and efficient setup that reduces risk and supports sustainable cost management.

CBAM Strategy, Data and Tool Implementation

We provide strategic and operational support for implementing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), one of the most data intensive environmental regulations to date.

Our services include:

  • Assessment of CBAM exposure including products, materials, supply chains, and import flows
  • Design of processes for data collection, emissions calculation, and reporting with clearly defined roles
  • Selection and implementation of a fit for purpose CBAM tool that supports audit proof data and reporting
  • Continuous guidance on regulatory updates and readiness for the definitive phase from 2026 onwards

We ensure organisations are prepared with scalable processes, structured data, and clear governance.

Plastic Tax and Single Use Plastics

We help clients build compliant and efficient processes to manage national and international plastics taxes and extended producer responsibility (EPR) requirements.

Our services include:

  • Analysis of plastic tax and EPR regulations in relevant jurisdictions
  • Design and implementation of end to end compliance processes including data flows, roles, reporting, and documentation
  • Identification of cost saving opportunities through product, packaging, and process adjustments
  • Ongoing updates to processes and reporting to reflect changing legal requirements

This enables businesses to comply reliably while optimising material and product strategies.

 

European Emissions Trading

We advise companies on all aspects of the European Emissions Trading with a specific focus on German national fuel emissions trading scheme (BEHG), from compliance obligations to strategic cost steering.

Our services include:

  • Assessment of BEHG relevance including obligated parties, fuel flows, and supply chain implications
  • Setup of compliance frameworks for quantity determination, reporting, and certificate management
  • Development of strategies to minimise BEHG related costs and optimise the company’s CO₂ footprint
  • Support in certificate procurement, forecasting, and communication with authorities

Our support ensures organisations can manage compliance confidently while improving carbon efficiency.

Complementary Global Trades Services

Our Green Tax offering is strengthened by integrated services across global trade and sustainability. These may be combined into a broader environmental compliance and governance programme where beneficial.

Global Trade Advisory

We support businesses in understanding how supply chain structures, import flows, and cross border movements influence environmental tax exposure. Our advisory integrates regulatory analysis with operational and commercial considerations.

Global Trade Management Consultancy

We help organisations design governance models and processes that connect trade, tax, finance, procurement, and sustainability teams. This supports consistent reporting, coordinated data flows, and aligned responsibilities across departments.

Global Trade Health Checks

We review environmental and trade data from a compliance and process perspective, identifying gaps in documentation, reporting, and internal controls. These assessments improve readiness for audits related to CBAM, plastics levies, or energy tax.

Global Trade Audit Support

We assist with audits covering environmental taxes, customs charges, and supply-chain-related reporting obligations. Our support includes documentation preparation, response strategies, and regulator engagement.

Global Trade Technology

We help identify and integrate digital tools that support CBAM, plastics taxes, EPR reporting, and energy tax documentation. This includes automation of data collection, dashboards, and structured reporting solutions.
