What is green tax shifting?
Green tax shifting isn’t a “tax grab,” or even raising taxes. It’s adjusting relative tax rates. Activities and products that help the environment and the economy become relatively cheaper, while pollution and other things that harm the environment become relatively more expensive. The basic principle is this: if you want less of something, raise taxes on it; if you want more of something, reduce taxes on it. As the saying goes “Tax bads, not goods”.
