subject: Carbon Tax Map: Five Years Or Levy - Refractory Industry - China Medical Mattress [print this page] 9 23, researcher at the Institute of Fiscal Science, Fu Zhihua, said: "We believe that the introduction of carbon tax in China, the conditions are basically ripe. According to the introduction of the simulation results of a carbon tax, China has recently implemented a carbon tax policy is feasible The. "
As "the introduction of a carbon tax in China Study" report (the "Report") of the principal members, he said the report's main conclusions are: to consider the introduction of a carbon tax within the next five years.
The tax system from external migration on the Chinese people the greatest impact is the future life, family and business use of fuel habit to change.
All this change is the driving force on September 22 the United Nations climate change summit. At the meeting, Chinese President Hu Jintao of China's commitment to give: for the year 2020 carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP than in 2005, decreased significantly.
Obviously, as a public policy, tax policy-making in the political considerations come first. Significantly reduce the carbon emissions of China's commitment to the implementation of the script is the carbon tax.
The carbon tax is not a means of improving the environment of the monologue. As the last century, the rise of 90 from northern Europe to a new tax, many economists believe that it is able to achieve a double dividend?? Improve environmental quality and improve the economic efficiency of the green dividend dividend blue. There are some people skeptical.
Fu Zhihua has repeatedly stressed that the report's point of view, advocated the principle does not represent any tendency of government departments.
Force reduction The U.S. Congress "carbon tariff" trade stick, is for China to support the introduction of a carbon tax the public voice of strength.
"If the United States to implement 'carbon tariffs', China should immediately implement a carbon tax in the country." Center of China, China's chief researcher, economist Fan Gang said that 22.
UN Global Climate Summit in America until the recent "Clean Energy and Security" bill (House version) proposed, in 2012, if the origin of imported products industry greenhouse gas emissions than the emissions of the United States in the same industry, then President the right to impose such import "carbon tariff."
The former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was chief of staff to Smith as "history's largest trade protection measures" proposed, raised the people's concerns.
Fan worried that the U.S. "carbon trade protectionism" and "carbon trade discrimination doctrine" is growing "carbon tariff" or will become a tool of trade against developing countries. China is the introduction of carbon taxes, can block the WTO principle of prohibition of double taxation in the United States intended. "Anyway, the affected exports, and would rather our taxes, this tax can also carry out domestic subsidies reduction of our business."
Finance Branch "report" is of the view that carbon reduction and conservation tax as a powerful policy tool, but also protecting the environment of economic measures to address climate change should become the main means of policy.
The other hand, the introduction of carbon tax in line with China's national conditions, as initiate action to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, not only the development trend of international environmental policy can also improve their international image and help to seize the future negotiations initiative.
The same time, the introduction of a carbon tax will also help to change the way of economic development, consistent with the direction of the development of low-carbon economy, but also conducive environment for improving the tax system.
The feasibility of levying a carbon tax is that it is not only the policy of the Chinese Government, "the National Climate Change Programme" to develop effective policy mechanisms proposed requirements, technically more sulfur tax, water tax, environmental tax ratio, but also measurement simple, easy, easy detection features.
