ecoAUTO Rebate Program

Visit the ecoAUTO Rebate Program website for a list of vehicles that qualify for the rebate program.

It offers rebates from $1000 to $2000, to people who, between March 20, 2007, and December 31, 2008, buy or enter a long-term lease (12 months or more) for a fuel-efficient vehicle that meet the required criteria.

Tax credit for public transit passes

The Government of Canada offers individual Canadians a non-refundable tax credit to help cover the cost of monthly or longer duration public transit passes. Because it is a non-refundable tax credit, anyone who applies does not receive the money in the form of a refund. Instead, the amount claimed is multiplied by the lowest personal income tax rate for the year (15.25% in 2006, 15.5% in 2007) and then is deducted from the amount of tax owed for that year.
