Is the Tire Stewardship Fee a tax?
The Tire Stewardship Fee (TSF) is not a tax. The TSF is levied by Ontario Tire Stewardship, an industry funded organization of brand owners and first importers of tires. It is used to fund the management of used tires including the collection, transportation and processing costs of used tires, and the remediation of tire stockpiles. None of the funds collected from the TSF will go to government.
