Thursday, November 24, 2011 TADA Says No to Carbon Tax
 MPPs returning to Queen's Park this week are being called on by the Toronto Automobile Dealers Association (TADA) to dismiss a report calling for a new carbon tax on the family car.
In its 10th Annual Report, the Task Force on Competitiveness, Productivity and Economic Progress has recommended the Ontario Government consider a carbon tax. If implemented, a carbon tax will be the fifth tax added to the price of gasoline in Ontario.
"MPPs should dismiss any calls for a new, punishing carbon tax on the family car,” said Frank Notte, Director of Government Relations, TADA. “Drivers have been paying an extra 8 % in taxes on gasoline since the introduction of the HST and can't afford to pay five separate taxes just to fill up their car. The HST on gasoline is a carbon tax - with a different name."
