Residential Energy Credit and Rebate Program
As announced in Budget 2009, the government is providing a provincially administered energy allowance of the British Columbia component of the harmonized sales tax (HST) on residential energy, including electricity, natural gas, heating fuel, heat, steam, kerosene, propane, firewood and pellets purchased for residential use. The energy allowance is equal to the provincial component of the HST paid or payable on residential energy, excluding service, administration and other prescribed charges.
For most residential consumers, the energy allowance will be provided as an energy credit directly by energy suppliers on their utility bills. Residential consumers who purchase energy for both residential and non–residential use (e.g. mixed use) that is not separately metered, or energy that is not delivered by their energy supplier to the residence, will not receive the energy credit on their utility bills but may apply to the provincial government for a rebate.
