Eliminating the Goods and Services Tax in respect of carbon pricing

Bill C-358 proposes to amend the Excise Tax Act to eliminate the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in respect of carbon pricing. The Bill would remove the GST that would be paid: a) on any tax, duty or fee imposed under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, such as the fuel charge and the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS); b) on any provincial levy imposed in respect of carbon pricing, such as the cap-and-trade system in Quebec or carbon tax in British Columbia.
