Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Emissionshandel
English term or phrase: check per unit of population
Auszug aus einem Interview zum Emissionshandel:

M1: Is a cap-and-trade system, which many markets seem to be evolving towards, sufficiently neutral to achieve the goal of carbon reduction?

M2: A cap-and-trade system is in principle neutral if it really is an economy-wide cap, and if you auction all of the emissions credits.

If you design an efficient system for gathering the revenues and returning the revenue to the population – payroll tax reduction, income tax reduction, **check per unit of population** – GDP will not suffer in any appreciable way.

Bin mir bei der Übersetzung des eingesternten Teil unsicher. Vielen Dank im Voraus für eure Vorschläge!

(Einkaufs-)Scheck je Bevölkerungseinheit
Explanation:

Das Geld aus dem Emissionshandel soll irgendwie verteilt werden. Bevölkerungseinheit - weil es nicht nur je Person sein könnte, sondern je Haushalt.
