I have not noticed the carbon tax affect my expenses at all. I pay a few extra dollars on my utility bill and, I'm sure, some hidden costs in things that I usually buy, but it has not made any impact at all on my lifestyle nor on my savings rate.
I'm surprised that some people that I know pay so much attention to the carbon tax when it's only a drop in the overall taxation bucket. Even a tiny increase in income tax makes a bigger difference.
