Environmental tax reforms have become a key policy instrument for achieving sustainable business development in modern economies. This study investigates the impact of environmental tax reforms on business sustainability, focusing on how fiscal instruments influence corporate behavior, environmental performance, and long-term economic stability. The research uses a comparative analytical approach based on international and national policy frameworks. The findings indicate that environmental tax reforms significantly improve business sustainability by encouraging resource efficiency, reducing emissions, and promoting green investment. However, the effectiveness of these reforms depends on institutional capacity, regulatory enforcement, and business adaptation levels. The study highlights that well-structured environmental taxation systems can balance economic growth with ecological protection, ensuring sustainable development in both developed and emerging economies.
