from OFA Ontario farmers: take action now to be exempt from fuel charge The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GHGPPA) established a federal standard for reducing carbon pollution for provinces and territories without carbon pollution pricing systems that meet the federal standard. The federal carbon pollution pricing system now applies in Ontario. Starting in April 2019, the federal carbon pollution pricing system will add a charge to everyday fuels for fuel delivered in Ontario for Air, Marine, Rail and Road use. Ontario farmers are eligible to receive an exemption from the fuel charge for fuels (gasoline and light fuel oil) used in tractors, trucks or other farm machinery, by completing an exemption form available through Canada’s Revenue Agency (CRA). Eligible farming machinery is property that is primarily used for the purposes of farming and that is a farm truck or tractor, a vehicle not licensed to be operated on a public road, or an industrial machine or stationary or portable engine Fill out the exemption form today, available online on the CRA website, and pro-vide a copy to your fuel distributor. Keep an additional copy for your own farm rec-ords. Access the form here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/forms/l402.html
