新加坡碳稅調漲五倍 2024年預估收入低於預期
S’pore’s projected carbon tax revenue for 2024 lower than expected after fivefold hike in tax rate
The revenue collected from Singapore’s #carbontax for 2024 – the year the tax rate went up to five times from before – is projected to be about $642 million, The Straits Times has learnt. This is up from the roughly $200 million in yearly revenue collected when the tax rate was $5 per tonne of emissions from 2019 to 2023. In 2024, the tax rate rose to $25 per tonne of greenhouse gas emissions. Assuming emissions that year remained at levels similar to previous years, the total tax revenue should be about $1 billion. One expert has suggested that the lower-than-expected carbon tax revenue is likely due to allowances given to trade-exposed emitters to help them stay competitive. In response to queries, a Singapore government spokesperson told ST the $642 million was estimated based on several factors. The higher revenue reflects the higher carbon tax rate, but also takes into account several other factors, said the spokesperson. “(This includes) the projected emissions by taxable facilities, the use of international #carboncredits to offset carbon tax liabilities, and transitory allowances for eligible companies in the emissions-intensive, trade-exposed sectors,” the spokesperson added.
新加坡在2024年起將碳稅 稅率提高至原來的五倍，但該年度的碳稅預估收入僅為約6.42億新元（約新台幣150億元），低於原本市場預期。 2019至2023年期間，新加坡碳稅為每噸5新元，年收入約為2億新元。自2024年起，稅率提升至每噸25新元，若2024年排放量與前幾年相近，碳稅收入應可達約10億新元。 新加坡政府發言人表示，雖然碳稅稅率調高使稅收增加，但同時也考量了其他變因。6.42億新元的預估值是根據多項因素計算得出，包括預估排放量、使用國際碳權 來抵消碳稅義務，以及對碳排密集、受國際貿易影響產業中合資格企業所提供的過渡性配額等等。專家指出，碳稅收入低於預期的主要原因，可能是政府對「受國際貿易影響大的排放業者」提供一定的稅務豁免或補貼，以維持其國際競爭力。
