Su Ming, a researcher at the Ministry of Finance Science Research Institute, said: "the environmental tax will definitely be introduced during the '12th Five-Year' period.

The specific time of the levy will be taken into account in the macroeconomic situation and will be launched when the economic situation is better and the inflation rate is lower.

Ma Zhong, Dean of the Environmental College of Renmin University of China, said that the environmental tax will adopt the internationally accepted principle of polluter pays and collect the emission side.

According to the experts, the environmental tax will be introduced in the way of tax, and the following items include the sulfur tax and the sewage tax in the initial stage of the environmental tax collection.

Among them, the sewage tax is mainly for COD (chemical oxygen demand) emissions; and carbon tax because of the lack of measurement system, temporarily not included in the collection directory.

Ma said that at the beginning of the environmental tax levy, the tax rate can be designed from a low level, but in the long run, if the environmental tax is to play a role, it should expand the scope of collection and raise the standard of collection.

However, there are some changes in the issue of how to divide up the cake of environmental taxes.

Earlier, it was reported that the environmental tax revenue in the four provinces of Gansu, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi will be classified as local taxes.

Now, the Environmental Planning Institute, an anonymous expert, said that "environmental taxes do tend to be shared by the central government."

In the current discussion, the opinions of the State Administration of Taxation tend to be unified by the central government, which is imposed by the local tax authorities, and then allocated to the central and local governments in a certain proportion.

In the division, "place takes the lead."
