The B.C. government has announced it will completely scrap the provincial consumer-facing carbon tax on April 1 and is urging gas stations to prepare for the change.
The government previously announced that it would introduce legislation on March 31 to halt a scheduled tax increase, following a promise from Mark Carney to do the same at the federal level.
However, the Ministry of Finance now says the legislation will enable the complete removal of the tax as of April 1.
It says it expects natural gas providers and those who sell fuel to stop charging the tax on that date.
