It's not so much managing the tax cut as managing the difference between the carbon tax revenue and tax cut plus other program expenses. Based on their history, they're likely to miscalculate either the amount of tax that they'll bring in, or the overhead that "is needed" (read: is set up) to manage it, resulting in a larger tax grab with the amount going to general revenue. Look at the EI "fund" for an easy example.
