Carbon Border Tax Can Unite Goals To Level Up And Reach Net Zero

Date 12/01/2022

• A new report by the Centre for Policy Studies published today says the Government can level up and decarbonise the economy simultaneously by introducing a carbon border tax, alongside a selection of other policies
• A carbon border tax on energy intensive imports would see importers from outside of the UK put on a level playing field with British businesses
• This would help support the regions most at risk of being left behind by the push for Net Zero, many of the same areas that the government wants to ‘level up’
• Ahead of the publication of the Government's Levelling Up White Paper, Levelling Up and Zeroing In recommends a range of other policies to ensure that the Net Zero agenda works to help the areas most in need of levelling up
• These include: boosting R&D through spending and regulatory changes, implementing ‘full expensing’ and a ‘green super deduction’ so businesses can invest in greener tech, extending carbon pricing to more of the economy, reforming skills provision, and reinvesting the revenues from carbon policies into helping local areas transition to Net Zero, including via a new breed of technical universities
