eco-tax
Pollution-based charge
An eco-tax is a tax designed to discourage environmentally harmful activities—levied on carbon emissions, plastic packaging, fuel, or polluting industries.
The principle is that prices should reflect environmental costs: The proposed eco-tax on aviation fuel faced industry opposition.
Also called a green tax or environmental tax.
