Summary

We welcome comments on our questions about how, if introduced, the Carbon Emissions Tax would operate and on proposals for development of the tax.

This consultation ran from
9am on 21 July 2020 to 11:45pm on 29 September 2020

Consultation description

This consultation sets out how the Carbon Emissions Tax would operate if it was introduced from 1 January 2021 and proposes how the tax might be developed.

It will be of interest to permit holders for installations that would have to pay the tax and to sectors, such as aviation, which could become liable to the tax in the future.
