The Esquarian Secretariat is the bureaucratic organ of the Esquarian Community tasked with carrying out its mandates and conducting the day-to-day business of the organization. It is responsible for the EC-wide implementation of policies and directives decided by the Esquarian Parliament and Council of Esquarium, as well as for the handling of the Esquarian Community's budget. The Esquarian Secretariat is presided over by the President of the Esquarian Community, Everàrd Torsièl, and managed by the Cabinet of the Esquarian Community. It is headquartered in Montecara.

The Secretariat manages the Treasury of the Esquarian Community, the organ responsible for managing and collecting membership dues and carbon taxes and tariffs and distributing funds and grants. The Secretariat also serves as the official depository of the Treaty of the Esquarian Community.

Carbon Tariff

Carbon Tariff, as called for in the Climate Change Act 2016, is payable to the Treasury of the Esquarian Community and is hypothecated toward supporting states as they transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy. It is assessed on petroleum fuels, natural gas, and coal-generated electricity in addition to other applicable tariffs.
