Optimization of Ecological Taxation: Role in the Formation of Environmental Protection Budgets

The purpose of the article is to propose a new methodological approach to optimizing ecological taxation by determining its role in environmental protection. The object of study is the environment and ecological taxation. The scientific question is to establish how to optimize ecological taxation in such a way as to ensure a high level of environmental safety. For this purpose, simulation modeling and correlation and regression analysis were carried out. Based on the results, it was determined that it was the scenario of increasing revenues from emissions into the atmosphere, from discharges into water bodies, and from the ecological taxation that is levied for the generation of radioactive waste that is the best in terms of optimization. It was proposed to increase revenues from emissions into the atmosphere, from discharges into water bodies, and the ecological taxation levied for the generation of radioactive waste: a review and increase in tax rates on pollutant emissions. The study is limited by taking into account the specifics of only one country during optimization and therefore the variables are selected only after this.
