Fuel charge
Heating oil distributors – Register now!
Starting on November 9, 2023, a registered distributor can deliver light fuel oil (heating oil) exempt of the fuel charge when the light fuel oil is used exclusively for providing heat to a home, building or similar structure, but not for generating heat in an industrial process, such as processes that involve removing moisture from goods. The exemption will apply upfront without the need for an exemption certificate. This relief will end on March 31, 2027. The fuel charge would apply to these deliveries again as of April 1, 2027.
If you are registering for the fuel charge program for the first time and do not have a fuel charge account number, follow the instructions under How to register to complete your registration.
