The Distributional Effect of A Carbon Tax on Income in Taiwan

Abstract: Environmental issues have become more important worldwide. A carbon tax is a strong tool for cutting carbon emissions directly through the internalization of the external costs of pollution. To mitigate the impact of carbon taxation, it is necessary to recycle the tax revenue into other taxes, subsidies, and transfers. In Taiwan, carbon tax policy has been under consideration. To analyze the effect of carbon tax and tax revenue recycling, this paper adopts a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CG… Show more

“…One option is to tax carbon emissions in order to internalize their negative externalities. Existing research has found that carbon tax policy can effectively reduce carbon emissions [ 18 , 19 ], and that appropriate carbon tax rates can offset the negative economic impact of taxation [ 20 , 21 ]. Domestic researchers discovered that a carbon tax can aid in the achievement of long-term emission reduction goals and that an appropriate carbon tax can reduce economic losses [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Tax as the largest source of state revenue has an important role in the life of the state, especially in the development sector, this is because taxes are a source revenue allocated to finance all production development (Feng et al, 2020;González Canché, 2022;Larrimore et al, 2021;Sölvi Kristjánsson, 2013;Zhan et al, 2019).…”
