In this paper, we analyze whether providing information about co-benefits of carbon taxes increases public support for carbon taxes not only in a Western but also in a non-Western industrialized country. Based on representative samples with more than 23,000 observations from Germany and Japan, our results show that the provision of co-benefit information significantly increases support for specific carbon taxes by between 2.7 and 4.6 percentage points in Germany and by between 8.4 and 11.8 percentage points in Japan. In addition, providing co-benefit information can turn previously significant (insignificant) price and revenue use effects on support insignificant (significant). Thus, providing co-benefit information not only directly increases support, but also widens the scope for implementing carbon taxes.
