Amidst all the discussion of U.K Chancellor George Osborne's fiscal measures following the autumn statement, rather less attention has been paid to another tax-related target. The coalition agreement set out a commitment to 'increase the proportion of tax revenue accounted for by environmental taxes'. The Environmental Audit Committee reported last month that whether or not this pledge is met depends on how environmental taxes are defined. This article looks at the status of that pledge after the autumn statement and asks whether such a target is sensible in the first place. Search |
