TRUDEAU on Gas TAX

UNDERSTANDING the CARBON TAX

Trudeau blasts Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan for fighting him on carbon tax.

In 2017, Canadians paid an average of 27.6 cents of tax on every litre of gasoline. This represents almost $14 on a typical 50 litre fill up (excluding sales tax). Gas taxes vary significantly by province and in some cases by city.

COMMENTARY: How Canada’s carbon tax works.

In 2019, the carbon price starts at $20 per tonne of carbon dioxide released. That translates to an additional 4.4 cents per litre of gasoline. The tax will increase annually, reaching $50 per tonne in 2022. By then the gasoline tax will be 11 cents per litre.
