A small business advocacy group is re-upping calls to eliminate the carbon tax, after it says members learned the Canada carbon rebate for small businesses is a taxable benefit.

Nik Nanos, chief data scientist of Nanos Research, tells Amanda Lang what Canadians tell pollsters they think about the political issue that is the carbon tax.

OTTAWA — In a letter to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland last week, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says it’s unfair to Canada’s small firms. The federation’s president and CEO, Dan Kelly, says the decision to tax the rebates is “deeply offensive to small businesses.”In a press release Tuesday, CFIB also says the Canada Revenue Agency previously issued an interpretation that the benefit would not be taxable, but the Finance Department had a different interpretation.

The Canadian Press contacted both the CRA and Freeland’s office for comment on Monday, but did not receive a response due to the Remembrance Day statutory holiday.
