How are carbon prices in different systems reported?

For carbon pricing under an Emission Trading System (ETS), operators should report the annual average price of allowances/certificates, details of the ETS rules, emissions surrendered, free allocation received, and the resulting difference between emissions and free allocation. Similarly, for carbon pricing in the form of a tax, levy, or fee, operators should report the annual average amount, details of applicable rules, emissions subject to payment, rebate allowed, and resulting total carbon tax paid.
