From 2013 there's going to be 33 countries with a carbon price established through an emissions trading scheme.
All of the countries in the European Union, for example, are in that position but also New Zealand, Switzerland and others.
But on top of that, there are 18 emissions trading schemes operating in different states and provinces. And in fact from 2015, every single one of the member countries of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), the advanced economies, bar one, will have emissions trading schemes that establish a carbon price.
So Australia is far from acting alone here.

Who pays the carbon tax?
Large carbon producing industries pay the carbon tax, which like any business expense becomes part of the cost of their product.

In some countries, Australia for instance, the tax collected is used to compensate consumers for any (strictly monitored) price rises.
