PSI Lunchtime seminar: The future of energy taxation
Update: slides are now linked in below. Ed Balls, Chief Economic Advisor to the Treasury together with Michael Roberts from the CBI and Prof Paul Ekins of the Policy Studies Institute will discuss the future of energy taxation at a lunchtime seminar to an invited audience of policy makers, environment policy researchers, environmental agencies and academics on Wednesday 21 May at the Policy Studies Institute in Camden. Michael Roberts, Director of Business Environment at the CBI will be talking on the business community’s view of energy taxation: "Tax is but one of a range of measures at Government's disposal to deliver energy policy goals. Business recognition of the role of tax in principle is often undermined by its use in practice. If energy taxes are to have a role in future, we need to learn from past mistakes and to ensure they fit effectively within the wider context of public policy." View the slides (pdf) Paul Ekins, Head of PSI’s Environment Group says: "The taxation of most current energy sources has a crucial role to play in helping to achieve the Government's environmental objectives, notably that in the recent Energy White Paper of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% from 1990 levels by 2010. In fact, unless the price mechanism systematically promotes energy efficiency, new technology and structural change away from energy-intensive goods and services, there is very little chance of these environmental objectives being met." View the slides (pdf) One of a series of lunchtime seminars to an invited audience, the seminar will be an opportunity for those working in this field to hear the government’s thinking on energy taxation together with the views of business and policy researchers. |
