responsible taxation for air quality

  This new study looks at which group should bear the burden of taxation for air quality issues. The study points us to greater economic equity in shifting the burden of taxation onto shareholder income linked to GHG emissions instead of local tax payers. The taxation responsibility would lie with “those receiving the most economic benefits resulting from these emissions.”
