As one of the means of the government to protect the environment, green taxation can effectively control pollution emissions and alleviate environmental pressures. However, there is considerable controversy about whether the implementation of green taxation has a favorable impact on economic growth. Therefore, this paper systematically summarizes the impact of green tax collection on enterprises and the factors affecting total factor productivity, and further analyzes whether green tax collection has an impact on corporate total factor productivity. Finally, the corresponding policy recommendations are put forward, from the formulation of reasonable green tax intensity, the development of differentiated industry green tax intensity and the adoption of flexible green tax forms, etc.
