Ottawa to levy new export tax on Canadian oil
Ottawa moves to tax Canadian crude oil exports to the United States starting October 1. Energy Minister Donald Macdonald says the plan creates a two price system with U.S. buyers paying 40 cents more per barrel in October, raising about 15 million dollars for the government. Alberta may press to receive up to half of the tax proceeds, while industry leaders call the measure arbitrary. The plan awaits enabling legislation next month and could include a marketing board to maximize the premium price. The National Energy Board blocked October exports, citing public interest.
