The carbon tax in Australia will be paid by the big polluters, the industries that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. The aim of the carbon tax is not to get money; it is to encourage industries to clean up their work practices and factories so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Any reduction will slow the rate of global warming. Some prices may rise within an allowable limit, that is monitored, so any company overcharging will be prosecuted. The money collected is being used to compensate consumers for this rise in prices.
In Australia the money is used to compensate consumers for rising prices. This is done by a regular payment.
Australia's carbon tax means that factories and industries that pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide have two choices.They can buy permits that allow them to keep pumping out CO2, orThey can change their industries to slow the CO2 and so cut their payments.The carbon tax will actually help the environment, as it will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, reducing the levels of greenhouse gases and slowing global warming.
