A point-by-point tariff/tax reform on the environment under the origin or destination-based tax principle is examined. This policy reform under the origin principle can raise the optimal pollution tax and hence improve the environment when the consumption demand and pollution are strongly complementary, whereas the reform under the destination principle lowers the optimal pollution tax and hence worsens the environment. Nonetheless, when the consumption demand and pollution exhibit weak complements or even substitutes, the tariff/tax reform results in less environmental deterioration under the destination-based principle.
