Abstract

Purpose of research: The study on the environmental fiscal of the external cost or Damage Social Cost is to provide a platform of the financial aid or assistance for the redevelopment of damaged environments due to the negative externality produce by logistic vehicles. This study identifies the external cost and the reformation of the damaged cost as the instrument of environmental fiscal for the redevelopment of damaged environment. Methodology: This study will be based on the Marginal Cost Approach (MCA) and the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of Social Cost of Carbon Emission in UK and Malaysia road tax 2009 to establish the external cost in Malaysia context. The survey and observation were carried out along the road 64km road from Noth Port Klang to Free Commercial Zone (FCZ), KL International Airport (KLIA) and the road were identified by the Department of Environment Malaysia (DoE) as most polluted and intensively used by the logistic vehicles. The result of three (3) day survey along North Port to FCZ KLIA to be used as a source for the reformation of external cost. The equipment, called CALINE4 being used to measure the CO emission released by logistics vehicles. The CO emission collected data to be used for formulating the external cost for reformation of environmental fiscal. Findings: Influencing factors of this study is the MCA and CBA that used as reference to develop the social cost or external cost. The equipment used to measure the dispersion from the line source and collected data from various types of vehicles. In additional the background of the survey area surrounds by oil palm factory, paper factory and other development activities. Research Implication: This research fills in the gap by establishing the external cost in Malaysia for the redevelopment of environment and as the benchmark cost for the reformation of financial assistance that can be used by DoE to establish the environmental fiscal. It is also as a head start for the government to esta
