abstract: 'The environmental taxes, such as carbon tax, also affect other economic
variables in a different way in addition to the main goal of
politicians. The carbon tax aims to reduce energy consumption and
pollutant emissions, while it can also reduce labor tax and labor costs
which are incentives to create new jobs. It is necessary to evaluate the
carbon taxation policy in Iran due to the special circumstances of the
budget deficit mainly caused by the decline of exports and oil revenues.
The present study is based on a general equilibrium model in the form of
a nonlinear equations system. The model has been calibrated for the 2017
reference year using the data table adopted from Iran''s economy. It has
been shown that if the carbon tax revenue is employed to decrease the
labor income tax, the environmental quality will be improved by reducing
pollutant emissions on the one hand, and it will lead to positive
effects on the welfare and employment on the other hand. In the present
paper, the effect of applying this tax on two policies with
redistribution (compensation) and without redistribution (no
compensation) of income tax among the households is examined. Maximum,
minimum, and optimal values of pollutant emissions reduction under the
influence of carbon tax policies were calculated in both scenarios. The
simulation results show that the taxation without redistribution of tax
revenues decreases the welfare and household''s actual consumed budget by
6.2\%, but in policy with compensation of tax revenue, these indices
will increase by 0.8\%. The gross domestic product (GDP) decreases by
about 1.7\% and 2.1\% in both policies, respectively, while the consumer
price index (CPI) in both scenarios will increase by about 6.4\% and
8\%, respectively. According to this research findings, carbon taxation
with the redistribution of revenue is a suitable policy to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and adhere to international commitments at the
same time.'
