Business use of home

During the reign of the HST in BC we who had home offices were supposed to notify our suppliers of energy to remove us from this residential energy rebate program as we weren't entitled to the entire amount, and would have to apply for a partial rebate.

I don't know about you, but I did contact my energy suppliers to remove the credit from my energy bills, but I never applied for the partial rebate. It seemed like too much trouble.

But now, of course, we're on record as a business premise with the energy providers, and there are differentials on rates for business versus residential users.

I plan to call them next month to ask if because I work from home and have this 'business' status is my rate charged for energy different than just a normal residential rate?

Will keep you posted.
