Fuel Tax Hike In British Columbia
The government of British Columbia, Canada, recently imposed a controversial carbon tax on all fuels, including jet fuel. According to AVWeb, (free registration required) the tax raises Jet A fuel up 2.61 cents per liter (10.15 cents a U.S. gallon), and 100 LL up 2.46 cents a liter (9.56 cents a U.S. gallon). The article also states the rates are calculated based on $10/metric ton (CAD) of carbon produced, and vary based on each fuel’s carbon emissions.
