The data shows export volumes and tax rates for goods transported through Rotterdam over ten years. By 2012, total exports increased slightly to 18,600 million tonnes, though many regions saw declines. Europe and the USA, the largest recipients, both experienced reductions, while Asia Pacific and Australasia saw significant growth.
Tax rates followed a similar pattern: regions with declining export volumes, like the USA, China, and Latin America, saw taxes rise, with Europe’s rate increasing from 5% to 8%. Meanwhile, regions with rising export volumes, such as Asia Pacific and Australasia, enjoyed tax reductions—Asia Pacific’s rate dropped from 5% to 2%, and Australasia’s fell to just 1%.
In summary, the data highlights a clear connection between increasing export volumes and lower tax rates.
