Alberta Carbon Levy in Effect January 1, 2017

Under the Climate Leadership Implementation Act, the Alberta government imposed a carbon levy to all sales and imports of fuel, subject to certain exemptions. The levy, which comes into effect on January 1, 2017, will affect propane as it relates to heating and transportation. The specific rates depend on the type of fuel, but all are set on the basis of $20 per tonne of CO₂ in 2017, rising to $30 per tonne in 2018.
