The theoretical arguments for environmental taxes and other types of economic instruments for environmental protection have been discussed extensively in the literature. Rather less well discussed has been the extremely complex form that such instruments have in fact taken in practice. Environmental Taxation Law: Policy, Contexts and Practice examines the legal implications of introducing environmental taxes and other economic instruments into the regulatory framework of UK law. In doing so, it analyzes and explains the difficulties of grafting environmental taxes onto the complexities of existing regulatory structures, not all of which, of course, were originally devised with environmental considerations in mind. Although the focus of the book is the UK's pioneering implementation of a web of distinct yet interrelated policy measures, it locates the UK's taxes and instruments not simply in their broader context of market and environmental regulation, but also in the contexts of European and international law.
'...an ambitious and comprehensive review of environmental taxes in the UK. They have sought to do this in an extremely comprehensive treatise, which rightly combines environmental taxes with the entire range of economic instruments used by the Government to steer environmentally beneficial behaviour.' The Tax Journal 'Th[is] book will be extremely useful to a number of audiences...tax practitioners...environmental lawyers and policymakers...people in the EU...The strength of this book especially lies in both its focus on the multi-faceted context and its technical discussion of particular tax instruments.' British Tax Review '...intrinsically interesting.' Law Society Journal
