Canada is adding a 10% tax on the purchases of luxury aircraft, cars, and boats.
It comes as US celebrities are under fire for environmental impacts of their private jet usage.
The Canadian government has argued the tax will not only discourage the wealthy from purchasing emissions-intensive vehicles, but reduce inequality as well.
The details of the tax come on the heels of a recent report from Yard, a UK marketing firm, titled "Celebs with the Worst Private Jet Co2 Emissions."
A 2021 Oxfam analysis found that in 2015, the richest 1% accounted for 15% of global carbon emissions.
The Yard report, coupled with the Canadian luxury tax act, suggest this scrutiny isn't going away anytime soon.
The luxury tax has been criticized for hurting the aviation industry and putting too much onus for the climate crisis on individuals. »
