Abstract

Neil Bruce and Gregory Ellis, in this chapter, review green taxes and policies for environmental protection. Taxing polluting inputs and outputs is a particularly attractive policy in developing countries, which often lack experience in administering and enforcing other types of environmental regulation. These corrective taxes make use of existing administrative structures and increase tax revenues, which can be spent on public goods to improve environmental quality (including treatment facilities for water and sewage, waste disposal, and sanitation) or can be used to reduce other taxes (which are often highly distortionary in countries with a narrow tax base).
