• Government report concludes in order to meet emissions targets, a carbon tax of 66 cents per litre will be needed by 2050 • Tax-on-tax collected by governments this year will cost Canadians $1.9 billion
OTTAWA, ON:The Canadian Taxpayers Federation today hosted its 21st annual Gas Tax Honesty Day, with press conferences held across the country from Vancouver to Fredericton, highlighting the high price of gasoline, compounded by carbon taxes and the practice of charging tax on top of tax.
"It is fundamentally wrong for governments to be charging tax on tax," said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. "This unfair practice costs Canadians $1.9 billion per year, and with carbon taxes being piled on as well, many families are feeling the squeeze."
