Talk Taxes: Fuel Taxes Inflate Canadian Prices
KEVIN AVRAM reports from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation on how fuel taxes dominate gas prices in most provinces. Provincial and federal takes plus dealer margins vary by region, with BC and Quebec highlighting large shares. The piece notes excise taxes date to 1915 and cites Vancouver’s 3 cent a litre transit tax, plus potential Winnipeg moves to tax fuel, arguing taxes raise final prices and hurt competitiveness.
