Law Would Ensure Rapid Redistribution Of Revenues From Switzerland's Carbon Tax

摘要

The Swiss government said May 11 that it has adopted a new regulation ensuring more rapid payout of revenues collected from the country's national carbon tax.rnUnder Switzerland's existing ordinance, revenues collected from the tax are redistributed to individuals and companies in Switzerland, with 200 million Swiss francs ($177 million) per year allocated to promote environment-friendly and fuel-efficient buildings. The old ordinance requires that the revenues be paid out two years after being collected.
