Conclusion
When we asked HM Treasury whether the tax system would have a role to play in achieving net zero, it said the role of tax would evolve over time from Budget to Budget.35 However, HM Treasury also recognises that as net zero is a 30-year programme, it needs to think about interventions over a long timeframe and not simply year by year.36
