The Printing Industries Association of Australia (PIAA) has launched a survey to find out how the carbon tax has affected employment, productivity, sales and profitability.

The PIAA said the results would be used as part of its lobbying efforts with "politicians and senior policy makers".

"The greater the participation and comments we can get on this issue, the more effective our lobbying can be on behalf of the industry," said the national manager of policy and government affairs, Hagop Tchamkertenian.

"With the price on carbon… now operating for some nine months, sufficient time has passed to make an assessment of the impact of this interim tax on businesses operating in the printing and associated industries until the planned introduction of an emissions trading scheme in 2015."

The survey closes on 5 April. Click here to participate.
