A green tax for companies who pollute the environment
Do you believe companies who pollute more should pay a green tax?
Alliance Party Alliance endorses the "polluter pays" principle. This means that those who pollute more should pay more and provides a financial incentive to pollute less. We support a shift in taxation towards pollution and resource depletion. Consistent with the "polluter pays" principle, the use of market forces can contribute to the protection of the environment. Source: Alliance Party.
Green Party A system of environmental tax measures ("eco-taxes") will be introduced alongside the phasing out of VAT (see EC771). Such taxation is designed to encourage movement towards a sustainable economy, by increasing the prices of items or services produced using unsustainable or polluting practises http://policy.greenparty.org.uk/ec.html
Plaid Cymru We will continue to oppose the use of waste incinerators and support binding targets for waste prevention. We support recycling targets of 80% of domestic waste by 2020 and the introduction of a higher landfill tax.
SNP Tough action against corporate polluters. Public accountability of the oil companies.
UKIP UKIP will abolish green taxes and charges in order to reduce fuel bills.
