Abstract Tax and expenditure policies are an important part of a government''s toolkit to address environmental issues, including climate change. Environmental taxation can help reduce environmentally harmful behavior, while generating revenue at all levels of government. Government spending can enable governments to take direct action related to climate change,

Introduction China''s environmental protection tax policy has emerged as a pivotal force in steering the country towards reduced pollution and carbon emissions.

Safeguarding environmental taxation through the law is conducive to enhancing enterprise tax payment awareness, strengthening responsibility for enterprise environmental protection, facilitating pollution control, reducing pollution emissions, and promoting enterprise green technological innovation to enhance corporate ESG performance and sustainable
The paper also proposes an environmental impact index that considers the recycling rate and environmental footprint of power batteries and employs it to assess their environmental impact. Research findings indicate that government intervention can effectively reduce PEF, particularly when dismantling technology is well-established.
Dong and Ge (2022) proposed a framework that integrates government incentives and recycling technologies as a means to promote power battery recycling. In a comprehensive analysis, Xia and Li (2022) investigated energy consumption and environmental impact throughout the entire lifecycle of power batteries.
The low tax rate might not be enough to create a strong financial incentive for stakeholders to opt for environmentally friendly practices, but the GDS policy offers direct financial support for power battery recycling, making it a more viable and attractive choice. Both the GT and GDS policies aim to reduce PEF and promote power battery recycling.
If the power battery recycling cost is low, the government also does not have an optimal policy choice. In this scenario, the government needs to assess other factors and consider alternative policies to effectively manage power battery recycling and environmental impact.
Spanning the entire lifecycle of battery production, it aims to reduce the environmental footprint of batteries, protect human health, and promote sustainable battery production, collection and recycling practices. The Regulation applies to all EU Member States and covers all batteries sold in the EU market (see scope below).
Power battery recycling plays a crucial role in mitigating environmental impacts, conserving valuable resources, and promoting sustainability in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle industry. However, current research lacks an analysis of the interplay between government policies, technology, economics, and the environment.
