Design/methodology/approach This paper is a conceptual paper that uses a qualitative method. The primary sources are the regulations related to the carbon tax, followed by sets of rules for Indonesian anti-money laundering and green crime, among other things, environmental crime. Then, it continued to an analysis process until it concluded. Findings The money laundering scheme in the context of the carbon tax is challenging to trace and requires strengthening when integrated with other state revenue sources. Research limitations/implications Implementing a carbon tax is linked to money laundering risks, as it allows carbon buying and selling transactions on the carbon market. There could be a risk of state revenue leakage when implementing the carbon tax. Other than that, there are crime risks surrounding implementing the carbon tax. Therefore, other scholars can do research in the field of the compliance of the responsible parties when implementing a carbon tax. Practical implications Criminals are suspected of laundering money by purchasing carbon credits through brokers and reselling them, which obscures illicit sources and makes tracking difficult. Originality/value Indonesia should elaborate on anti-money laundering principles to ensure the secure implementation of the carbon tax in all areas and maintain financial system integrity.
