The federal carbon tax comes into effect April 1 but farmers are concerned that farm fuel purchased at card locks may not be exempt by then.
Delegates to last month’s Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting heard that the carbon tax would be applied to card lock purchases even though fuels for on-farm use are to be exempt.
The finance department referred reporters to a tweet from minister Bill Morneau: “Our Government’s policy is to exempt gasoline and diesel used on farms from the federal price on pollution. We are examining the card lock issue and looking to find a solution.”
