Summary
Green growth is a high-quality development model that takes social economy and ecological environment into consideration. In September 2020, President Xi Jinping made a commitment to the international community at the general debate of the seventy-fifth session of the United Nations General Assembly, declaring that “China will peak its CO2 emissions by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutralization by 2060” (hereinafter referred to as “carbon peak & neutralization”). This reflects China’s position as a responsible country, and demonstrates that China’s green development will face more arduous tasks and severe challenges. From the perspective of tax reform, this paper will analyze the current situation and the challenges of tax greening in China in recent years, and put forward general thoughts and suggestions on how to promote green development at the new development stage, so as to create a two-wheel drive mechanism of carbon tax and environmental protection tax, lead the structural reform of China’s tax system, continuously improve tax regulation, and construct a green tax system with multiple taxes and means to cooperate with each other and to regulate it comprehensively and effectively
