Alberta's Fuel Tax Changes: What You Need to Know!
The Alberta government is taking steps to rethink its fuel tax policies! From August 1 to 31, they’re inviting comments from fuel sellers and buyers on a new proposal to phase out marked fuel. What does this mean for you? Let’s dive in!
Marked fuel is a special type of fuel that comes with a tax break, making it cheaper for farmers and certain industries like agriculture and forestry. Currently, a tax of four cents per litre applies to this fuel, benefiting those who use it for farming or off-road equipment.
The exciting part? Some retailers believe moving the tax exemption to clear fuel could provide even more savings, making it simpler for everyone involved. "We’re committed to supporting Alberta’s agricultural and resource sectors with practical, cost-saving solutions," said a government representative. They want to hear directly from you!
Participating is easy—just jump onto the online survey during the engagement period. Your feedback will help shape the recommendations submitted to Alberta's government this fall.
