Environmental taxes, so called Pigouian or Green tax, are considered as a policy instrument to control pollution. Green taxes are a sort of levies on expenditure and used by government as a fiscal policy tool to prevent pollution activities of any economic agents .in contrast to direct and indirect taxes, Green tax has more advantages, for it can provide revenue for government and also can mitigate the negative effect of externalities. As such it renders a two-sided effect on efficiency ground. Towards this ends, the Rotterdam demand system was applied to this study. The findings of this paper indicate that the adoption of green tax policy would encourage the household to substitute other sources of clean energy for fuels use (oil and gas) and hence contribute to environment protection.

This research is trying to analyse and recognize the variables effecting OECD countries environment. As an index for measuring the environment pollution, we use CO1 emission, than using a panel data econometrics model to analyse the effects of economics growth and Good Governance on CO1 emission. The results show no considerable effects from these variables. Considering the history of using Green Tax in these countries, we used an econometrics model to see the effect of Green Tax on CO1 emission in OECD countries. The outcome supports the strong effect of Green Tax on CO1 emission in OECD countries.
