What is a carbon price claim?
Carbon price claims could appear in TV or radio advertising, websites, on product labels or in contracts and catalogues. They could also be made by a salesperson over the phone, via email or in person on the shop floor.

Businesses might make claims about the impact of the carbon price such as:

‘Beat the Carbon Tax – Buy Now!’
‘Our prices will be hit hard when the carbon price comes in’.
‘Our prices have increased by X% because of the carbon price’.
Some of these claims may be accurate and some may be misleading.
