Pro-People Taxation: A Path to Economic Stability

Carbon taxes or carbon emission taxes are levied based on the carbon content of fuel usage. Implementing carbon taxes can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, encourage consumers and businesses to be more energy-efficient, invest in energy-saving technologies, and increase tax revenues.

Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change, resulting in significant annual losses. Moreover, Indonesia consistently needs more financial constraints in addressing climate change.

Implementing carbon taxes would incentivize carbon emission reductions, thereby mitigating global warming and promoting our country's development of renewable energy sources.

From an economic and sustainability perspective, the interconnection between taxes and economic stability highlights the complexity that needs to be considered by the government.

Taxes, directly and indirectly, can impact economic growth, consumer behavior, and environmental sustainability.

Therefore, appropriate tax policies should consider short-term and long-term economic goals, social sustainability and fairness.

With a balanced and integrated approach, taxes can effectively achieve sustainable economic stability, promote inclusive growth, and protect the environment for future generations.(**)
