La «teneur en taxe» du bien d’une personne s’entend, de façon générale, du montant de taxe prévu par la partie IX [de la Loi sur la taxe d’accise] que la personne est tenue de payer sur le bien et sur les améliorations qui y sont apportées, déduction faite des sommes(sauf les crédits de taxe sur les intrants) qu'elle peut recouvrer par voie de remboursement ou de remise ou par un autre moyen et compte tenu de toute dépréciation du bien.

[...] une taxe sur la teneur en carbone du pétrole, du charbon et du gaz découragerait l'utilisation des combustibles fossiles et réduirait ainsi les émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Un certain nombre de pays industrialisés ont déjà tenté d’instaurer une taxe sur le carbone. De nombreux économistes estiment que cette taxe pourrait entraîner une réduction des émissions de CO2 à un coût minimum. Toutefois, comme les taxes laissent les particuliers et les entreprises libres de leur choix, elle ne garantit pas absolument que le niveau d’émissions prescrit sera atteint. Pour être efficace, la taxe doit être bien conçue et bien gérée. 2, record 2, French, - taxe%20sur%20les%20%C3%A9missions%20carboniques
