The qualitative research methodology was used in assessing the need for environment taxation in Ethiopia by applying in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and structured document review analysis of existing literatures for data collection. The comparative analysis of the countries like Vietnam, Uganda, and Norway with well-developed environmental pollution tax implementation was conducted during the assessment. The findings of the research showed as the Environment pollution tax is not yet introduced in Ethiopia except certain environment related taxes.
