In 2019, the federal government implemented a carbon tax for fossil fuels as part of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA) and its carbon pricing program. The tax is designed to lower Canada's carbon emissions to meet the targets it agreed to at the Paris climate summit.
As part of the Climate Action Incentive payment, the federal government has indicated that most of the proceeds it collects through the carbon charge will be returned to Ontario residents as a rebate. As a household, you could receive approximately $300 a year after claiming the incentive on your annual tax return.
The federal government has released draft regulations related to greenhouse operations. As part of the draft, commercial greenhouse operators may be eligible for partial relief through the use of an exemption certificate. If applicable, just 20% of the federal carbon charge will apply to natural gas delivered by a registered distributor to a greenhouse operator.
Greenhouse operators must provide EPCOR with an exemption certificate to confirm partial relief. Before completing a fuel relief charge form below, a greenhouse operator must meet the following conditions:
Once these conditions have been met greenhouse operators can apply for the exemption by completing Form L404 and submitting it to gas@epcor.com.
We will keep you informed of updates to the federal carbon pricing program and the GGPPA on our website and on notices with your monthly bill. You can also learn more from the Government of Canada.
