Abstract: The public policy tool of taxation may generate discouraging effects upon the economic agents – consumers or producers – but also could be used as incentives. High environmental taxation could generate crowding effect in terms of responsibility. Sometimes a very sophisticated system of environmental taxation is the basis for a highly regulated business environment and conformity but with a lack of real responsible citizenship. We are trying to see if the impact of taxation upon responsibility is real and can affect the motivation for environmental responsible citizenship. The main findings are related to the impact of regulating power of environmental taxes. Also there is evident the interest of entrepreneurs in environmentally responsible behavior and the less information about the benefits of responsible citizenship.
