Agriculture Alert -Exemption for April 1, 2019 Fuel Charge

March 19, 2019

The Federal Government will be charging a carbon tax through the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Act on all fuel sold in Ontario beginning April 1, 2019. The tax will be $0.0442/L on gas and $0.0537/L on diesel (light fuel oil). Ontario farmers can receive an exemption for eligible farming activity, such as machinery or farm vehicles, by completing Canada Revenue Agency's form and providing a copy to your fuel distributor before April 1st. We encourage you to keep a copy with your records. You do not need to provide the form to CRA. The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Act applies increasing fuel charge rates to a broad set of greenhouse gas emission sources in an effort to mitigate climate change.
