Fuel Charge Exemption Certificate
Federal Government has levied a new carbon-based “Fuel Charge” program that is effective April 1, 2019.
We have been researching details of this program as we do not have any formal information from our Government. What we know is, as “Distributors” of propane, it is required that you register with Canada Revenue Agency and fill out a Fuel Charge Exemption Certificate to be exempt from the Government prescribed Fuel Charge of $0.031 cpl , effective April 1, 2019.
Below you will find the links to the Registration, Registration Schedule and Fuel Charge Exemption Certificate in fillable and savable PDF format in the event you have not received or completed. Once both forms are complete, send both registration documents only to Canada Revenue Agency(mailing and email address on documents) and both registrations and fuel charge exemption certificate to fuels@cogeco.net. We are obligated to apply this charge on all propane sales, effective April 1,2019, without the attached documents in our possession. If you have any question or concerns, I suggest that you reach out to CRA helpline @ 1-866-439-4202 to receive accurate information related to this program. Any other questions or concerns can be directed to fuels@cogeco.net or (905) 528-0241 and we will do our best to assist.
