It seems to me it just makes people pay more tax and doesn’t actually help climate change. I researched the Canadian carbon tax btw
In: Other
The carbon tax is collected at the pump from consumers. The tax collected is remitted by the gas company to the government, along with any fees and penalties the gas company for its own emissions.
Its a fee to encourage less fuel usage: taking public transit, buying more efficient vehicles. _But wait, the government is giving the tax collected from consumers back in the form of the carbon tax credit on your income taxes?_ Yes, but it still makes you think about it because while after your refund comes back you’re net zero gain/loss, but from when you buy gas until you get your refund you’re out that money. It still encourages you to use less fuel.
It also encourages manufacturers and producers and commercial transport companies to use less fuel too, and they’re perhaps the bigger contributor.
