Excise taxes on fuel consumption may serve an important role in the abatement of CO2 emissions. Fuel tax has been a significant revenue-raising tool in Turkey for years. The present paper investigates whether there is a relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and public revenues from excise taxes on fuel consumption in Turkey by employing an asymmetric nonlinear cointegration test and error correction model that is a novel methodology proposed by Hepsag Commun Stat-Simul Comp 50:400-412, (2021). We collect our sample that consists of annual data on CO2 emissions, GDP, and fuel tax in Turkey from 1985 to 2018. The empirical findings display that there exist relationships among economic growth, CO2 emissions, and fuel tax supporting the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in the short and long run. However, we find out that fuel tax is statistically insignificant and has no impact on CO2 emissions. Because a significant carbon dioxide reduction is not possible by fuel taxation, by converting the excise tax on fuel consumption into a carbon tax, a considerable emission reduction can be provided efficiently.

对燃油消耗征收的消费税可能对减少二氧化碳排放量起重要作用。多年来，燃油税一直是土耳其重要的收入增长工具。本文通过采用非对称非线性协整检验和误差校正模型（这是Hepsag Commun Stat-Simul Comp 50提出的一种新方法），研究了土耳其的燃油消耗中的消费税征收的二氧化碳排放量与公共收入之间是否存在关系： 400-412，（2021）。我们收集的样本包括1985年至2018年间土耳其的二氧化碳排放量，国内生产总值和燃油税的年度数据。实证结果表明，经济增长，二氧化碳排放量和燃油税之间存在着支持环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）的关系。 ）短期和长期假设。然而，我们发现燃油税在统计上微不足道，对CO2排放没有影响。因为通过燃料税不可能大量减少二氧化碳，所以通过将燃料消耗的消费税转换为碳税，可以有效地提供显着的排放减少。
