EnglishWhere to Find Which Countries Have Carbon Taxes
Updated
The Carbon Tax Center (carbontax.org) provides a dedicated resource page, "Where Is Carbon Taxed?", that lists jurisdictions where carbon taxes have been enacted or proposed. According to the site, this includes Canada, Ireland, Australia, Chile, Scandinavia, and Washington State. This page is the most direct starting point on the site for comparing policy adoption across jurisdictions.
What the Site Offers
The Carbon Tax Center describes "Where Is Carbon Taxed?" as a way to "find out where carbon taxes have been enacted or proposed around the world." The named examples span national and subnational jurisdictions:
| Jurisdiction | Type |
|---|---|
| Canada | Country |
| Ireland | Country |
| Australia | Country |
| Chile | Country |
| Scandinavia | Region (multiple countries) |
| Washington State | U.S. state |
This mix shows that carbon pricing is not limited to one level of government — it appears at both national and state/regional levels.
How to Use the Resource
- Go to carbontax.org.
- Locate the "Where Is Carbon Taxed?" section or link.
- Use it to see which jurisdictions have enacted or proposed a carbon tax.
- Compare entries across countries and regions to understand where adoption is concentrated.
The page is framed as a reference for policy adoption, so it works best as a starting point for comparison rather than as a live legislative tracker.
Related Resources on the Same Site
If you want more context once you have the list of jurisdictions, the site also offers:
- "What's a Carbon Tax?" — explains that a carbon tax is a fee on the carbon content of fossil fuels, levied upstream where coal, oil, or gas is extracted or imported, charging users for climate damage from released CO2.
- Carbon Tax FAQs — the site states this answers 32 key questions, including why carbon taxes are needed and how to make them fair.
- Carbon Tax Center blog — described as the place for breaking news and analysis on carbon taxing and broader climate issues.
What to Keep in Mind
The site presents examples of where carbon taxes have been enacted or proposed, but it does not, in the material available here, provide current rates, revenue figures, or implementation dates. For those details, you would need to consult each jurisdiction's own policy documentation. Treat the Carbon Tax Center page as a map of adoption, not as a source for current tax parameters.
