Quebec heating oil industry launches no tax event

Quebec’s heating oil industry launched a program on September 1 to encourage clients to replace aged residential tanks. It will cover the equivalent of the QST and GST on a double bottom, double walled or fibreglass residential heating oil tank. Participating distributors must be members of the Association québécoise du chauffage au mazout (AQCM) or the Association Québécoise des Indépendants du Pétrole (AQUIP), and tank installation must be carried out by a licensed member of Corporation des maîtres mécaniciens en tuyauterie du Québec (CMMTQ). The program runs to June 30, 2013.
