The New Era of Taxation
15 Sep - 16 Sep 2022
Session information
Environmental taxes: PPT, carbon tax and ‘green’ tax credits
Thursday 15 September (1145 - 1315)
Description
Governments have always used taxes and levies to influence the behaviour of the people and the economy. Unfortunately, lobbyist and misguided political interests have disrupted tax laws and their use for public interest. Global warming and the environment require that concerted efforts be implemented to tackle the challenges the globe is facing. This leads us to the question, how are taxes and levies being used to safeguard the environment and curb global warming? The panel will debate on how the current environmental challenges in politics impact the tax landscape.
