Australians are paying a Carbon Tax of $24.15 a tonne today. How does this compare to the rest of the world? Here are a few examples of higher or comparable carbon tax (often with emission trading on top):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweden enacted a tax on the use of coal, oil, natural gas, petrol and aviation fuel used in domestic travel in 1991. The tax was 0.25 SEK\/kg (US$100 per tonne of CO<sub>2<\/sub>) and was later raised to US$150.<\/li>\n<li>Norway introduced a CO<sub>2<\/sub> tax on hydrocarbon fuels in 1991. The tax started at a rate of US$51 per metric ton of CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/li>\n<li>Finland introduced the world\u2019s first carbon tax in 1990. The price on carbon was A$29 per tonne of CO<sub>2<\/sub> in 2010.<\/li>\n<li>Ireland, in the 2010 budget the country&#8217;s first carbon tax was introduced at approximately A$20 per tonne of CO<sub>2<\/sub><b> <\/b>emissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps $24.15 per tonne is among the highest but certainly not the highest. Also, even with a punishing carbon tax for decades, six times the current rate in Australia, the Swedish economic growth appears to be unaffected. Between 1990 and 2006, Sweden&#8217;s economy grew by 44-46 percent (approx 2,8% annually).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is often argued that Australians are paying the highest Carbon Tax in the world (also here).
