The concept of a carbon tax has been proposed by various stakeholders, including economists, environmentalists, and policymakers. One of the notable early proponents was Yale economist William Nordhaus, who argued for the implementation of a carbon tax as a way to internalize the social costs of carbon emissions and incentivize reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
The following nations have a carbon trading system in place, or are committed to implementing one:The member countries of the European UnionNew ZealandSome states of the United States of America - a federal scheme was blocked in the Senate in 2009Some provinces of CanadaJapan - to a limited extentChina has committed to implementing a carbon price in 2011.The Australian government has committed to implementing a carbon tax, to be replaced in due course by a carbon trading scheme, but as at April 2011 has not yet legislated for this.
No Carbon Tax Climate Sceptics was created in 2009.
not if you intend to claim offsetting our emissions.http://www.irs.gov/irb/2006-11_IRB/apc.html No, but apparently special projects would qualify as a possibe deduction of passedIt has been discussed but no Carbon tax incentive is in place. Now they are all sponsored through independent groups (and are really unregulated, even fraudulant). hence, buying them gives you nothing to expense for tax...unless of course the organization qualifies as a 501c3 charity and accepts it as a donation...which is really what it is.Also, it is more likely the Gov't will come up with a Tax on carbon producing things to fund activities it directs, than a tax break.
Five examples of carbon taxes include Sweden's carbon tax, which is one of the highest in the world and aims to reduce emissions by encouraging cleaner energy use; British Columbia's carbon tax, which has been effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while promoting economic growth; France's carbon tax, implemented to meet climate goals; Norway's carbon tax, which targets emissions from fossil fuels; and the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), which functions similarly to a carbon tax by setting a price on carbon emissions through a cap-and-trade mechanism. Each of these initiatives aims to incentivize lower carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices.
Julia Gillard introduce the carbon tax because we need it to set an example to other countries and to be the first environmentally friendly country. by J.B 9D LSC

Large carbon producing industries pay the carbon tax, which like any business expense becomes part of the cost of their product. The tax is designed to encourage them to become greener, cleaner and more sustainable. Considering the size and revenues of the industries, and the basis they calculate the tax on, the resulting effect to the cost of their product is so small as to be insignificant. In some countries, Australia for instance, the tax collected is used to compensate consumers for any (strictly monitored) price rises.
A carbon cap is the alternative to a carbon tax.
In Australia the carbon tax will only be paid by large emitters of carbon dioxide. This will encourage them to reduce their emissions. Compensation will be paid to most people to cover any rises in prices arising from the carbon tax.
I guess it is Finland. Finland imposed carbon tax in 1990.finland
Yes we should have a carbon tax because it encourages companies that pollute with carbon dioxide to reduce their emissions. This will be better for the world and for everyone in it.
We have a carbon tax to encourage polluters to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they emit. If they have to pay for it then they will search for cleaner and greener ways of running their industries.
Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia do not have any tax for its citizens
