Carbon Pricing Act (CPA) Explained: Key Requirements Singapore Businesses Must Know
Beyond the cost of the carbon tax itself, Singapore's Carbon Pricing Act sets out compliance requirements that affected businesses must follow. Episode 5 of GreenCo's Carbon Tax series walks through the key pillars of the CPA: registration, emissions reporting, pricing, appeals and enforcement.
What You'll Learn in This Video
- GHG reporting requirements – what reportable and taxable facilities must submit to the National Environment Agency (NEA).
- Monitoring plans and verification – why taxable facilities need an approved monitoring plan and independently verified emissions reports.
- Carbon tax assessments and refunds – how carbon tax is assessed and when refunds may apply.
- Appeals under Section 34 – the route for challenging certain NEA decisions.
Why CPA Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with the CPA can lead to penalties, and inaccurate emissions data can mean paying more carbon tax than necessary. A clear understanding of the Act helps finance, operations and sustainability teams work together on accurate, timely submissions. Learn how GreenCo supports GHG emissions calculation.
