[QUOTE="vintageracer, post: 244990, member: 1729"] [SIZE=5]If you only listen to Conservative information providers you will think that the carbon tax is just a greedy "grab". I don't believe I have even once heard a Conservative politician mention anything about the [B]rebates/refunds[/B]. The typical Canadian citizen will pay a bit more at the pump and for home heating through the year and many will therefore be a bit more careful about the amount they burn. When tax time comes around, every year, the refund to typical families and individuals is measurably greater than the extra amount paid out during the year. Here is a highlight from the explanation of how it works for the citizenry... "[/SIZE]How much is the carbon tax? We hear a lot about how the carbon tax is designed to go after the big polluters in various industries, but if you’re driving a conventional fuel-burning car, or heat your home using natural gas, for example, you will be paying extra too. Under the carbon tax levy, filling up your gas tank cost 6.6 cents more per litre until April 2021. As the tax increases each year, the levy will plateau at 11 cents per litre in 2022; something to consider if you’re weighing up the costs of switching to an energy-efficient [URL='https://www.canadadrives.ca/blog/buying-a-vehicle/government-fuels-electric-vehicle-demand-with-electric-car-rebates-in-canada-and-top-affordable-electric-vehicles'][B]electric vehicle[/B][/URL]. Those who heat large homes and drive frequently will be paying more under the plan. The government estimates an average yearly cost of $357 for a household in Ontario, for example. However, with an average rebate of $439 you will end the year in the green. In Saskatchewan, where the temperatures are cold and the roads long, the yearly estimated cost would be higher at $588 per family. But rebates can be as high as $883."
