And the whole way of thinking is still controversial.

The comprehensive media reported on December 10th that the environmental tax collection scheme has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of taxation.

The three departments of the Ministry of protection have passed unanimously and have been reported to the State Council.

The economic reference Daily quoted the authority's view that the proposed environmental tax collection scheme will first collect two tax items of sulphur dioxide and wastewater, and adopt a method of collecting pollutants from the quantity. The tax burden level is equivalent to the current sewage charge.

Experts close to the ministries believe that the timing is a difficult problem, and the relevant policies will be introduced next year.

It is reported that there are still some disputes about the tax rate and the overall mentality of the scheme.

In particular, it has yet to be recognized by other ministries.

In addition, the final meaning of the design of the environmental tax system is also controversial.

Is it the tax impulse generated by some departments on the basis of their own interests? Does taxation have the effect of energy on environmental protection? Does the taxation only reflect the incremental tax increase on the whole without the adjustment of the overall tax burden, and can not reflect the incentive function of the environmental economic policies to the enterprises?

The total income of the environmental tax is higher than that of the sewage charges after the fee is changed.

Experts from the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that the above tax rate plan is the low proposal of the three schemes put forward by the researchers.

According to the above estimates, the annual emission tax revenue is about 60 billion yuan (at present, the total amount of annual collection of pollution charges in China is less than 20 billion yuan), and the carbon tax revenue is about 40 billion yuan.

That is to say, even the most conservative estimate, the Levy of environmental taxes can amount to 100 billion yuan per annum.

Fu Yugang, a researcher with the Shanghai Institute of Finance and law, said: "the environmental tax is a tax increase. At the same time, the state should also adjust the tax structure and reduce taxes in income tax and other sectors, so as to maintain a balance of tax burden."
