Manitobans will be seeing huge savings at the gas pumps in 2024! Effective January 1, 2024, and spanning a minimum of six months, the province will temporarily pause the collection of taxes on gasoline, natural gas, marked fuel, and diesel fuels.
Finance Minister Adrien Sala announced this initiative as part of the government’s strategy to address the affordability crisis in Manitoba and across Canada. The six-month fuel tax holiday will eliminate the 14-cent fuel tax rates on gasoline and diesel used for motor vehicles, resulting in an estimated savings of $250 for the average Manitoba family with two cars.
The pause will also reduce the provincial fuel tax rate to zero cents per litre for specified fuels employed in commercial road use during this six-month period.
The fuel tax pause only applies to taxes associated with personal and commercial road use, taxes on aviation, locomotive, and propane will still be enforced.
