A carbon tax is a tax levied on the carbon emissions from producing goods and services. Carbon taxes are intended to make visible the hidden social costs of carbon emissions . They are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by essentially increasing the price of fossil fuels .
This is the main advantage compared to a fixed carbon tax. A carbon tax is considered easier to enforce on a broad-base scale than cap-and-trade programs. The simplicity and immediacy of a carbon tax has been proven effective in British Columbia, Canada – enacted and implemented in five months. [19]
A carbon fee and dividend or climate income is a system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change. The system imposes a carbon tax on the sale of fossil fuels, and then distributes the revenue of this tax over the entire population (equally, on a per-person basis) as a monthly income or regular payment.
A cap and trade program is based on emissions; but a carbon tax is not based on the burning of fossil fuels. Ideally, a carbon tax is paid once, at the point that the fossil fuel enters the economy; in other words, by the first wholesaler that sells the fossil fuel.
A carbon tariff or carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is an eco-tariff on embedded carbon. [11] In 2024 the United States said it is not a carbon tax, [12] but the World Trade Organization is dysfunctional so is unable to agree or disagree. [13] One aim to prevent carbon leakage from nations without a carbon price. [11]

The main contributor to the country's emissions is fossil fuel combustion, which accounted for about 60% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2014. [3] As of 2018, the electricity sector accounted for 48% of Vietnam's CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, industry for 28%, transport 16%, the residential sector 4%, the commercial sector 3%, and agriculture 1%.
