New Draft Ecological Tax Aims to Cut Emissions in China

China's first draft environmental protection tax law, which is expected to cut pollutants emissions, has been submitted to the country's top legislative body. It is aimed at protecting the environment and improving ecological construction by promoting energy conservation, and reducing emissions. The draft calls for taxes to be targeted at individuals or companies that pollute the air, water or soil, or emit noise pollution, while lower tax standards will follow on from existing fees for pollutant discharge. Companies directly discharging pollutants—especially those in major polluting industries, such as thermal power, iron and steel, cement, coal, electrolytic aluminium, metallurgy, mining, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical, and textiles—will be subject to the new tax.
