The carbon tax is approaching, and the chemical industry affects geometrically

[China Epoxy Network (China Epoxy Industry Online)June 7, 2010: The carbon tax research report of the carbon tax task force of the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance has been completed.
China Carbon The veil of tax is being lifted.
Most people in the industry believe that my country's levying of a carbon tax is an indispensable means to achieve a low-carbon economy.
This plays an important role in the adjustment and transformation of my country's economic structure and the reduction of international trade frictions.
Experts believe that the United States and other developed countries have always regarded "fair carbon emissions" as the basic principle for solving the global greenhouse effect.
They are highly likely to impose carbon tariffs on imported products from countries that have not levied carbon taxes.
At the UN Climate Change Conference held in Bonn, Germany in June 2009, some representatives of developed countries proposed to impose carbon tariffs, that is, to impose additional trade tariffs on countries that have not implemented mandatory greenhouse gas emission reductions.
What should China do in this situation? Instead of allowing developed countries to impose our carbon tariffs to subsidize their own companies, we should first impose a carbon tax, and the tax revenues will subsidize our own companies in order to achieve the goal of adjusting and optimizing the industrial structure and embarking on a healthy and sustainable development path.
.
If my country levies a carbon tax, they will impose a carbon tariff again into double taxation, and double taxation is a violation of the WTO agreement.
Levying carbon taxes can reduce the risk of my country’s damage in international trade frictions and increase my country’s tax revenue.
The so-called carbon tax is a tax levied based on the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the processing of industrial products.
According to current standards, and based on the data on consumption of the petroleum and chemical industries in 2009, the annual increase in carbon taxes for the entire industry is about 8.
8 billion yuan, accounting for about 1.
8% of the industry's profits.
And just as experts expected, just like the design of the fuel tax, the carbon tax rate will continue to increase.
By 2020, it will reach the level of 50 yuan per ton of carbon dioxide, gradually approaching the international level.
By then, the carbon tax on the petroleum and chemical industries will also increase exponentially.
