The "double dividend" theory of environmental taxes can provide the basis and direction for the reform of environmental taxes in China. For a long time, China's environmental related taxes are at a low level. Levying environmental taxes does not bring too much burden to enterprises and the public. At present, the most important purpose of levying environmental taxes in China is to curb the heavy pollution production and management activities, and to promote the adjustment of industrial structure and technological innovation through pressuring. Based on the current situation of China's environmental protection and the author's research results, this paper first analyzed the basic contents of "double dividend" of environmental tax, and then discussed the "double dividend" and China practice and significance, finally put forward the reform proposals of environmental tax in China based on the "double dividend" of environmental tax.
