Ontario government to introduce legislation to cut gas, fuel taxes

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government is introducing legislation to temporarily reduce gasoline and fuel taxes.

In a news release issued Monday morning, the province said if passed, the gas tax would be reduced by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel tax by 5.3 cents per litre for a period of six months beginning July 1.

“Ongoing supply chain challenges and geopolitical conflicts are pushing up the cost of living from gas to groceries,” said Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy.
