Download or read book Budget 2011 and environmental taxes written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environmental Audit Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Audit Committee claims the Treasury has undermined public trust in green taxes by appearing to use them as a revenue raising tool rather than a serious attempt to change environmentally damaging behaviour. The MPs single out two recent tax changes for particular criticism: cutting a penny off Fuel Duty while providing no new incentives to switch to lower carbon alternatives; and proposed changes to Air Passenger Duty will do nothing to reduce emissions or make it a more effective environmental tax. The Treasury needs to adopt a coherent strategy for environmental taxation, setting out its objectives and rationale, the basis on which rates are set, and how their impact will be evaluated. With green taxes there is a strong case for ring-fencing some of the revenues for investment in green alternatives - for instance using fuel duty to reduce public transport fares - in order to build trust and support for environmental taxes. Environmental taxes need to be straightforward so that taxpayers understand the behavioural change signal being sent. In practice their growing complexity means that many businesses are unaware of the cumulative impact of the environmental taxes affecting them. They must also be seen as fair so that political support can be built for environmental taxation. Also, the Plan for Growth, published alongside the Budget, does not provide the much needed step-change to aid the transition to a low-carbon economy. The Government should demonstrate greater commitment to putting the green economy at the heart of growth plans.

Book Synopsis Environmental Tax Reform by : Mr.Dirk Heine
Download or read book Environmental Tax Reform written by Mr.Dirk Heine and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper recommends a system of upstream taxes on fossil fuels, combined with refunds for downstream emissions capture, to reduce carbon and local pollution emissions. Motor fuel taxes should also account for congestion and other externalities associated with vehicle use, at least until mileage-based taxes are widely introduced. An examination of existing energy/environmental tax systems in Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and Vietnam suggests that there is substantial scope for policy reform. This includes harmonizing taxes for pollution content across different fuels and end-users, better aligning tax rates with values for externalities, and scaling back taxes on vehicle ownership and electricity use that are redundant (on environmental grounds) in the presence of more targeted taxes.
Book Synopsis Environmental Taxes by : Kalle Määttä
Download or read book Environmental Taxes written by Kalle Määttä and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental taxes differ from each other according to the functions they serve and the manner in which they are implemented. This study highlights the appropriateness of different kinds of environmental taxes against a rigorous framework of theory and case study evidence. The purpose of this book is to analyse the way in which environmental taxes are categorized and which factors affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the different kinds of environmental taxes in practice. This pragmatic approach is emphasized along with the multiplicity of regulatory problems such as: At what level should the environmental tax rate be set? What is the proper time schedule for introducing an environmental tax? What are the most appropriate taxable characteristics and how should they be determined? What activities should be exempt from environmental taxation? How can tax relief be implemented? These are only some of the regulatory problems explored in this study, which also encompasses an examination of the theory of regulation. The author argues that economists have often paid too little attention to the administrative and legal issues concerning the implementation of legislation, such as environmental tax laws, which are of course vital to the success of any potential policy. Lawyers too have in turn neglected the theory of regulation, which would assist in analyising problems in a future-oriented way. Environmental taxes will therefore be of great interest to a wide audience of environmental economists, law and economics scholars as well as policymakers.--Back cover.

Book Synopsis Costs of Environmentally Motivated Taxes in the Presence of Other Taxes by : Ary Lans Bovenberg
Download or read book Costs of Environmentally Motivated Taxes in the Presence of Other Taxes written by Ary Lans Bovenberg and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been keen interest in recent years in environmentally motivated or 'green' tax reforms. This paper employs analytical and numerical general equilibrium models to investigate the costs of such reforms, concentrating on the question of whether these costs can be eliminated when revenues from new environmental taxes are devoted to cuts in marginal income tax rates. A distinguishing feature of the analytical model is its attention to the role of pre-existing inefficiencies in the tax treatment of labor and capital and the associated role of tax-shifting. This model indicates how the prospects for a zero- or negative-cost environmental tax reform are enhanced to the extent that environmental tax reforms shift the tax burden toward the less efficient (undertaxed) factor. Results from the numerical model are interpreted in light of the analytical model's findings. These results indicate that the revenue- neutral substitution of Btu or gasoline taxes for typical income taxes usually entails positive gross costs to the economy. In the case of the gasoline tax, a significant tax shifting effect serves to lower the policy's gross costs. This accounts for the lower gross cost of the gasoline tax compared with the Btu tax. Under neither policy is tax-shifting substantial enough to eliminate the overall gross costs.

Book Synopsis Double Dividend by : Dale W. Jorgenson
Download or read book Double Dividend written by Dale W. Jorgenson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous and innovative approach for integrating environmental policies and fiscal reform for the U.S. economy. Energy utilization, especially from fossil fuels, creates hidden costs in the form of pollution and environmental damages. The costs are well documented but are hidden in the sense that they occur outside the market, are not reflected in market prices, and are not taken into account by energy users. Double Dividend presents a novel method for designing environmental taxes that correct market prices so that they reflect the true cost of energy. The resulting revenue can be used in reducing the burden of the overall tax system and improving the performance of the economy, creating the double dividend of the title. The authors simulate the impact of environmental taxes on the U.S. economy using their Intertemporal General Equilibrium Model (IGEM). This highly innovative model incorporates expectations about future prices and policies. The model is estimated econometrically from an extensive 50-year dataset to incorporate the heterogeneity of producers and consumers. This approach generates confidence intervals for the outcomes of changes in economic policies, a new feature for models used in analyzing energy and environmental policies. These outcomes include the welfare impacts on individual households, distinguished by demographic characteristics, and for society as a whole, decomposed between efficiency and equity.
Book Synopsis Tax Policy and the Environment by : Mr.David C. L. Nellor
Download or read book Tax Policy and the Environment written by Mr.David C. L. Nellor and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a framework for examining environment taxes. It reviews the theoretical efficiency of three types of environment taxes: taxes on emissions or Pigouvian taxes; taxes on productive inputs or consumer goods whose use is related to environmental damage; and environment-related provisions in other taxes. A survey of environment taxes in 42 countries--drawn from developing countries, economies in transition, and industrial countries--illustrates that the use of environment taxes differs dramatically from the recommendations of environment tax theory. This divergence between the theory and practice of environment taxes can be attributed to several factors; environment taxes are difficult to implement, there are many factors that impede their effectiveness, and their introduction may be discouraged by their implications for other policy objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking Australian environmental taxes as a case study to develop methods that can be applied elsewhere, analyzes how taxes designed to reduce a major source of pollution worldwide might impact the income distribution and economic welfare. Examines the direct and indirect effects of a domestic fuel and power tax and a carbon tax on prices, on consumer responses to price change, and on inequality and the social welfare of various income groups. Also considers whether the distribution effects can be overcome by adjusting transfer payments to compensate lower income groups. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
