Policies I Would Like to Establish for Russia |

Today I would like to consider such a method of influence on producers as special taxation. The functions of special taxation — is the creation of environmental conditions unfavorable to producers of harmful products and buyers (high selling price). In the industrialized countries of the world, tax legislation provides for special taxation of products produced using environmentally hazardous technologies and products potentially dangerous in consumption, storage and disposal after the end of operation. So, in Germany, Japan taxes on gasoline containing lead are imposed. In Sweden, a tax on sulphur in fuels is not paid if the sulphur content is less than 0.1%. In the US, there are taxes on involvement in the production of toxic substances. In Hungary, taxes on dirty products are used, at the expense of special taxation up to 70% of the income of environmental funds is formed. Unfortunately, today the tax legislation of Russia and many other countries lags far behind in this aspect, while the introduction of special taxation would not only allow to replenish the state Treasury, but also encourage producers to more socially responsible behavior. So, idea 1: introduction of special taxation of products manufactured using environmentally hazardous technologies and products potentially dangerous in consumption, storage and disposal after the end of operation. However, such measures are not enough to change the consciousness and behavior of entrepreneurs. We need not only sanctions against producers that harm the environment, but also tax incentives and preferences for those entrepreneurs who contribute to the preservation of the environment. Such companies need state support. It is necessary to encourage enterprises to take active environmental measures. Only the combination of "stick" and "carrot" in the tax system in relation to entrepreneurs will achieve the main goal: to improve the environmental situation on our planet.

Wow, lots of comments from other regional ambassadors :)
As you said, taxation is one of the best and common ways of governmental means to control and develop the overall system to make it round to publicize.
Expected effects may be deducted soon as the prime objectives of the projects aimed to, but sometimes they may not : so government must have plan b or c at least, preparing for the collateral effect coming right after it.

Hello Nikolay
Taxation is one method that could direct more industries to make transitions in their technologies so that it would harm the environment less. And as this taxation matter is intimately related to policies, the establishment of good policies really is important!
Thanks for the report!

Taxation is a good policy that reduces the use of environmental hazardous substances and activities along with investing the collected amount for creating sustainable environment promoting activities.
Nice report @Nikolay :) :)

Nikolay,
Imposition of tax on companies for environmental reasons is a major way to improve our Nation's environment. Countries should revise their tax systems to accommodate the levies on companies that produce or release eco-polluting products. I hope we all follow other countries you have mentioned in your report.
Thanks for your report.

Hi Rose, thank you so much for your comment! Yes, indeed, now in Russia there have been positive trends in the tax legislation for the protection of the environment. I very much hope that progressive laws will be adopted in the near future.

Hi Nikolay!
So many countless legislative policies exist in order to maintain the environmental damage caused, but not so many are being implemented, especially in the industrial, entrepreneurial sectors. The policies you have mentioned that are currently being practiced in other countries are such openers to the many ways we can overcome environmental pollution. And hopefully Russia will follow suit in order to exercise the policies you have mentioned.
Thank you for reporting Nikolay!
