Eligible greenhouse operators can now apply for carbon tax relief grants for the 2021 production year.
Commercial producers in B.C. who grow vegetables, ornamental flowers or plants, forest seedlings, or nursery plants in greenhouses are eligible to apply for the grant if they meet the following criteria:
• they sold more than $20,000 in goods in 2021;
• they used natural gas or propane to heat their greenhouses or to produce carbon dioxide; and
• they had a production area greater than 455 square metres.
The grant covers up to 80 per cent of the carbon tax paid on natural gas and/or propane used for greenhouse heating or for carbon dioxide production in 2021.
Eligible growers may apply for carbon-tax relief until May 31. Cannabis is not an eligible crop at any phase of production.
