A question, by PM:
Quote:
Regarding the Inefficient Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (Green Levy):
You state that this tax is primarily for 2008 model vehicles, that doesnt seem to be the case, i have called trend/lp auto and on a 2006 trailblazer ss they are telling me that i have to pay a excise tax of $3000 from what i understand from you is i shouldnt since the car is a 2006, any way you can clarify this for me?

Answer:
That is completely, and blatantly 100% false.
From the RIV:
Quote:
Excise tax (Green Levy) on fuel inefficient cars
This tax is applicable to vehicles purchased in Canada or imported from the United States and is applied to a passenger vehicle if it:
is a car, SUV or van with a weighted average fuel consumption of 13 litres per 100 km or higher, and was put into service after March 19, 2007.
Vehicles are taxed, based on weighted average fuel consumption, at the following rates:
At least 13, but less than 14 litres per 100 km: $1,000
At least 14, but less than 15 litres per 100 km: $2,000
At least 15, but less than 16 litres per 100 km: $3,000
16 or more litres per 100 km: $4,000
