Every time you fill up, you save 13 cents a litre. Starting Oct. 1, your United Conservative government, under Premier Danielle Smith’s leadership, is suspending the full provincial fuel tax on gasoline and diesel until the end of the year.
Global conflicts, trade uncertainty and rising energy prices are putting more pressure on people’s wallets. Albertans told us they’re facing continued high costs at the pump, so we’re taking action. It’s direct relief that helps you keep more of your hard-earned money.
The savings reach everyone who fills up, from workers commuting and parents driving their kids to school, to local businesses that rely on moving goods and services. To make sure the savings are passed on, the province will be monitoring pump prices and will take action against businesses that price gouge.
This relief is possible because of the strong financial position that Alberta is in under your United Conservative government. Albertans already pay the lowest overall taxes in Canada, with the lowest personal income taxes in the country, no provincial sales tax and the new eight per cent tax bracket, which saved Albertans $1.2 billion last year. Suspending the fuel tax builds on that record.
Savings at the pump, more money in your pocket and the lowest overall taxes in Canada. That’s your United Conservative government getting the job done for Albertans.
Global uncertainty continues to push energy prices higher, and that’s putting more pressure on Albertans’ wallets.
