  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Business and Management, Vol.11 No.5, September 26, 2023

  ABSTRACT: This paper examines the impact of British Columbia’s Climate Action Tax Credit on creating a more equitable environment in the face of increasing carbon taxes. By applying economic concepts such as marginal social/private costs and consumer/producer spending by the implementation of a Pigouvian tax (carbon tax), the paper analyzes the economic equity that theoretically should be present in British Columbia as a consequence of the tax credit. It analyzes several secondary sources and applies economic theory as per the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
