replies: text: If this is about the German tax proposals (Ökosteuer), the entry should probably be moved to Ecotax, as per  ~ trialsanderrors 08:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Support: The article is listed on the list to translations from German to English, so it does pertain to the German tax proposal. The title Ecotax would therefore probably be appropriate, with Environmental tax and Ecology tax redirecting to it.(Patrick 12:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is English Wikipedia, and I know that the Green Party of Canada and Green Party of Ontario certainly promotes the Green tax shift, with that wording. What is the most common usage in English? Ardenn 03:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like Ecotax is more common in Europe and GTS in North America. Ecotax wins the googlefight by a mile, although I don't give too much credence to that. Are there official sources in North America that sponsor GTS? I'm kind of wary to accept the Green parties as unbiased sources. ~ trialsanderrors 07:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've only heard it used by the GPC and GPO, so I wouldn't know. Sorry. Ardenn 15:53, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I'm not sure about it myself, but I'll put in a move request. So what responses it triggers. ~ trialsanderrors 18:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

*Support as the nom. After some more googling this seems to be the prevalent form in Europe, which gives the topic more attention than NA, and is also closest to the German original. ~ trialsanderrors 07:26, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: My article

message: not sure if this is where I am allowed to respond. Anyway, a green tax shift is actually two concepts, a green/eco tax, and a tax shift, which implies that it is revenue neutral. This would indicate that GTS should not be used, but I like to see the terms linked, mainly for political reasons.

thread_title: Comments on the move

message: surely article should focus on taxes that will be introduced not "Examples of taxes which could be lowered or eliminated by a green tax shift:" - as every tax will be affected. Chendy (talk) 10:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. --Explodicle (T/C) 14:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Taxes affected

message: The last sentence of the current article:
:"The Pigovian taxes that are introduced by such a policy - see below"
....has thrown the intro off.  The sentence obviously suffers from poor grammar, but more succinctly I believe it doesn't belong in the intro paragraph since its providing an explicit description (elaboration) of the various taxes in the next section.
Can someone bring in some expertise to rework the first two sections? Simply removing the sentence completely may detract from the article and be counterproductive.  Tnx  --HarryZilber (talk) 15:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Intro paragraph needs some rework

message: The line severance tax is wrongly forwarded right back to this "Ecotax" page.
Recommend fixing this with a separate page on Severance tax.
e.g. See Instapedia's entry
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/severance-tax.asp
"What Does It Mean?
What Does Severance Tax Mean?
A tax imposed on the removal of nonrenewable resources such as crude oil, condensate and natural gas, coalbed methane and carbon dioxide.
Severance tax is charged to producers, or anyone with a working or royalty interest, in oil or gas operations in the imposing states. You may be charged severance tax even if you do not realize a net profit on your investment.
Investopedia Says
Investopedia explains Severance Tax
Certain wells may be exempt from severance tax based on the amount they produce. Different states have different rules. For example, in Colorado, as of 2008, an oil well that produces less than an average of 15 barrels per producing day, or a gas well that produces less than an average of 90,000 cubic feet per producing day, is exempt from this tax.
It is important to note that severance tax is different from income tax, and you still have to pay all federal and state income taxes on oil and gas income in addition to severance tax."DLH (talk) 19:21, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
