Speaker: 

Tracey Osmond, FCPA, FCGA, Senior Manager, Indirect Tax, Grant Thornton LLP

Join PASC for a POWER PLAY on November 22, 2019 as we discuss and review the implications of the Federal Carbon Tax that will come into effect in Alberta, January 1, 2020.  With the repeal of the Climate Leadership Act there is no longer the 2023 oil and gas production exemption for producers.  In its place the Federal Fuel Tax will replace the Carbon Levy.  We will also discuss the Alberta TIER program the Alberta Government is currently developing.  

In its quest to deliver enhanced value to stakeholders, PASC is excited to introduce the POWER PLAY, a two-hour session on urgent and critical issues that are of importance to the energy industry. As a “play” on both petroleum and hockey, these special sessions will be informative and delivered in a timely fashion outside of our normally-scheduled programming.

This event qualifies for up to two hours of continuous professional development.
