The Canola Levy

A 75 cent ($0.75) per tonne levy on Saskatchewan produced canola is collected. Under provincial government legislation, the levy must be collected by buyers at the time of sale.

The buyers forward the levy to the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission. Any change to the levy level requires approval at an annual general meeting following notification of all Saskatchewan canola producers.

Applications for refunds may be submitted to the SaskCanola office anytime during this period, but must be received no later than August 31 of  the year in which you are requesting your refund.
