VICTORIA (NEWS1130) - The Liberal government's latest provincial budget has introduced escalating 'carbon' taxes on all fossil fuels, but says it will be offset by cuts in provincial income tax, and incentives to 'go green'.
Beginning July 1st, British Columbia will begin phasing in a carbon tax on gasoline, diesel, natural gas, coal, propane and home heating fuel. The rate starts at $10 per tonne of carbon-equivalent emissions and will rise by $5 per year for the next four years.
As of July 1, there will be a 2.4 cent increase per litre in gasoline. By 2012, it will be 7.24 cents per litre. For diesel and home heating oil, it works out to 2.2 cents per litre, rising to 8.27 cents by 2012.
Finance Minister Carole Taylor maintains it will be 'revenue neutral' and the government won't use any of it to pay for general programs. Taylor also says that in the first year, the extra money people pay will be off-set by personal and corporate income tax cuts and a $100 rebate to every adult and child in the province.
The budget follows the government's throne speech last week which urged British Columbians to take personal responsibility for reducing climate change.
Taylor says a family of four with a household income of $70,000 can save approximately $2,000 a year compared to 2001. Taylor says by 2009, people in BC making up to $111,000 a year will pay the lowest personal income tax in the country.
Businesses are getting a tax break too, the cuts might not outweigh the cost of carbon taxes. On Canada Day, BC business taxes fall one point. 11% for corporations, 3.5% for small businesses, with 2011 targets of 10% and 2%.
Major fuel users are skeptical. The Mining Association of BC says the sector will pay about $33-million in carbon taxes this year and $99-million a year by 2012. The lobby group says this, plus higher overall energy costs and the expenses on a future cap-and-trade emissions system add considerable uncertainty.
