Saskatchewan will not remit the federal carbon tax on natural gas to Ottawa, the province’s energy minister announced on the due date of the payment.
The province stopped collecting the tax on natural gas from homeowners Jan. 1, and had until the end of this month to submit the money.“Today, I’m announcing, in addition to not collecting the carbon tax on SaskEnergy bills, the Government of Saskatchewan will not be remitting the federal carbon tax on natural gas that Saskatchewan families have used to heat their homes,” Minister for Crown Corporations Dustin Duncan said in a Feb. 29 video posted on social media.
