Environmental Tax Reform, is the term used for changes in the taxation system where the tax object shifts from a 'good base', such as labor, capital or consumption to a 'bad base' such as activities that lead to environmental pollution. This development is the key to good implementation of environmentally sound fiscal policies. This study aims to compare the implementation of government policies on the consumption of plastic bags in several countries and the challenges in implementing these policies. The adoption of the policy significantly reduced the level of consumption of plastic bags in Ireland whereas in Botswana, Canada, South Africa and China the reduction in consumption of plastic bags was only short-term.
Â
Reformasi Pajak Lingkungan, adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk perubahan dalam sistem perpajakan di mana objek pajak bergeser dari 'basis yang baik', seperti tenaga kerja, modal atau konsumsi menjadi 'basis yang buruk' seperti kegiatan yang mengarah pada pencemaran lingkungan. Perkembangan tersebut menjadi kunci penerapan yang baik atas kebijakan fiskal yang berwawasan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan implementasi kebijakan pemerintah atas konsumsi kantung plastik di beberapa negara dan tantangan dalam implementasi kebijakan tersebut. Penerapan kebijakan secara signifikan mengurangi tingkat konsumsi kantung plastik di Irlandia sedangkan di Botswana, Kanada, Afrika Selatan dan China penurunan konsumsi kantung plastik hanya bersifat jangka pendek.
