It's similar, but natural gas is lower. A liter of heating oil and a cubic meter of natural gas produce a similar amount of heat (natural gas slightly less). And the carbon tax for them is $0.17/L for heating oil and $0.124 /m3 for natural gas.
On top of that, natural gas furnaces are generally going to be more efficient than oil ones, so you're paying less for wasted energy with gas.
