(" Shanxi Evening " of December 11) The environment pollutes, improves the ecological environment, improves resource utilization ratios, the purpose to realize society's harmony and national sustained economic development out of reducing, levy the environmental tax, not all right. But in legal frame and enterprise's management system of the country at present, have the following several pieces of doubt to levy the environmental tax at least: First, can the levying of environmental tax realize the set objective? But collection of discharge to the sulfur dioxide, waste water and solid waste of the environmental tax, so very obvious, the environmental tax is just a punishing tax category after a thing, it can not play any prevents function.
