In her e-presentation, Professor Karolina Tetlak discusses recent windfall taxes on surplus profits of energy companies in the EU: the temporary solidarity contribution imposed on the fossil fuel sector and the cap on market revenues of electricity producers. She explains the fiscal nature of these measures, and how they are used to redistribute profits of the energy sector in line with the EU environmental and energy policy. The e-presentation provides a thorough and critical analysis of Council Regulation (EU)2022/1854 of 6 October 2022 on an emergency intervention to address high energy prices.
