Have Your Say
Do you think Saskatchewan should adopt Alberta's strategy around eliminating or reducing the gas tax in correlation with the price of oil (WTI) on the market?
In Alberta fuel tax rates for gasoline and diesel are adjusted quarterly (January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1) based on the average price* of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil:
The fuel tax will be suspended whenever prices are at or above $90.
A partial fuel tax of 4.5 cents per litre will be applied whenever prices are $85 to $89.99.
A partial fuel tax of 9 cents per litre will be applied whenever prices are $80 to $84.99.
The fuel tax will be fully reinstated whenever prices fall below $80.
