Fuel prices to rise due to Carbon Tax increase
The Department of Community and Government Services would like to inform Nunavummiut that effective April 1, 2021, the rates for the Federal Carbon Tax will be increased on fuel products sold throughout Nunavut.
The relevant rate changes are as follows:
| Federal Carbon Tax Rates (per litre) | |||
| Fuel Type | Current | Increase | Effective April 1, 2021 |
| Gasoline | $0.0663 | $0.0221 | $0.0884 |
| Diesel | $0.0805 | $0.0268 | $0.1073 |
| Naphtha | $0.0676 | $0.0226 | $0.0902 |
The Nunavut Carbon Rebate, a Government of Nunavut initiative, offsets the Federal Carbon Tax by 50 per cent and reduces the amount Nunavummiut pay for fuel. Aviation fuels and diesel for generating electricity are exempt from the Carbon Tax.
