OTTAWA — With the Liberal government opening the door to exemptions to its carbon tax, an Ontario Grand Chief wants it pushed even wider to a full exemption to the levy on Indigenous lands.that the government would exempt home heating oil from the carbon tax for the next three years. The exemption will apply nationwide, but the benefit will mostly flow to the Atlantic provinces where 40 per cent of homes use the more carbon intensive fuel to heat their homes.
Benedict said the carbon tax is a violation of his communities’ tax exemption status and a violation of their rights under the Indian Act. “It would require that every homeowner file income tax and in some situations, members don’t file tax returns,” he said. “They probably work on reserve and don’t have any real benefits to filing income tax.”
