Consumer Carbon Levy Update

You may know that the agricultural sector’s consumer levy on natural gas and propane changed to $0.00 (they did not cancel the levy but set it to zero) as of April 1, 2025.
Adjusting fuel and combustible materials calculations also impacts the Canadian Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS). Farmers and consumers are not directly affected, but the government will continue charging the OBPS levy to manufacturers who are still subject to the system.

With the removal of the federal fuel charge effective April 1, 2025, eligible Canadians will receive a final Canada Carbon Rebate payment, starting April 22. The refundable tax credit farms received when filing their 2024 returns will be lost for the 2025 tax year.
