Ontario’s Tax and Credit for Fuel Conservation or feebate program was operational from 1989 to 2010. Under the fee schedule in place from 1991 through the end of the program, the program offered rebates to fuel efficient cars and taxed cars with fuel efficiencies worse than 6.0L/100 km. The fee on cars with fuel efficiency ratings of 8.0-8.9L/100 km was $75, while for the 9.0-9.4L/100 km bracket it was $250. On July 1, 2010, Ontario eliminated its feebate program as the province underwent large scale tax reform.
See section 3 of the attached report, “New Vehicle Feebates: Theory and Evidence”, as well as section 4 of the attached RMI report, “Valuing Society First,” for discussion of the efficacy of Ontario’s program.
