The African Christian Democratic Party said it is opposed to the introduction of carbon tax as proposed by the National Treasury. 

ACDP Parliamentary Leader Wayne Thring said they are not in favour of the introduction of carbon tax but welcomes goals which could lead to reducing carbon footprint. 

Thring said the ACDP believes that this should be seen by many in business as revenue correcting venture to boost the national office.

Thring further said business has already seen a huge increase in administered cost, electricity rates, petrol prices and school fees.

He added that another tax like the carbon tax could be just the last straw.
