| Abstract from DBPedia | An environmental tax, ecotax (short for ecological taxation), or green tax is a tax levied on activities which are considered to be harmful to the environment and is intended to promote environmentally friendly activities via economic incentives. A notable example is carbon tax. Such a policy can complement or avert the need for regulatory (command and control) approaches. Often, an ecotax policy proposal may attempt to maintain overall tax revenue by proportionately reducing other taxes (e.g. taxes on human labor and renewable resources); such proposals are known as a green tax shift towards ecological taxation. Ecotaxes address the failure of free markets to consider environmental impacts. Ecotaxes are examples of Pigouvian taxes, which are taxes that attempt to make the private parties involved feel the social burden of their actions. An example might be philosopher Thomas Pogge's proposed Global Resources Dividend.環境税（かんきょうぜい、environmental tax）とは、環境負荷の抑制を目的とし、かつ、課税標準が環境に負荷を与える物質に置かれている税である。 温室効果ガスの抑制のために化石燃料に課税をする環境税については、炭素税を参照のこと。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Environmental_tax) |
