The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) will remove the Northwest Territories carbon tax for all consumers except large emitters on April 1, 2025.

The GNWT has taken this step to align with changes in the Government of Canada’s carbon pricing policy to eliminate the federal consumer carbon tax. Regulatory changes will provide at-source carbon tax rebates to all consumers except the diamond mines, which are currently the territory’s only large emitters. These regulatory changes will remain until Canada repeals its carbon tax through legislation at which point the Northwest Territories’ carbon tax will also be repealed through legislation.

The GNWT will offer revenue-sharing agreements to all community governments equal to 10 per cent of annual carbon tax revenue after all carbon tax offsets are removed.
