Flat Tax?
Farmers in Estonia are facing a new gas tax. But it might not be what you’re thinking. Cattle ranchers in the Eastern European country have started receiving notices that they will be taxed for methane gas emissions from their cows.
Cows produce large quantities of methane gas through belching and flatulence when they digest grass. Some environmental estimates say that cows account for 15-25 percent of the world’s gas emissions and a single cow can produce 350 liters of methane and up to 1,500 liters of carbon dioxide in a single say.
A spokesman for the country’s main opposition party — the People’s Union of Estonia — calls the new tax a “huge surprise.” There is no other European Union country that imposes a flatulence tax on its farmers.
