Funded Activity Summary

The design and application of taxation laws to domestic and cross-border transactions triggered by carbon emissions trading schemes. The introduction of a national emissions trading scheme is the cornerstone of the Australian Government's response to climate change, the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. The goal of this and other similar emissions trading schemes is the reduction of carbon emissions in the most cost effective manner. By promoting the harmonisation of the taxation treatment of permits on an international level, this project will promote the establishment of a uniform price for carbon and thereby support global initiatives to reduce emissions. Only a coordinated international response has the potential to reduce global emissions and therefore mitigate the impact of climate change on Australians and the Australian economy.
