The Manitoba government is bringing in a permanent 10 per cent cut to the provincial fuel tax, Premier Wab Kinew announced.

“Our government keeps our word. We said we’d cut the fuel tax and we did,” said Kinew. “We said it would last 12 months and it did. Now we’re going further by bringing in a permanent cut to the fuel tax to make it one of the lowest in Canada.”

The cut to the fuel tax represents a 10 per cent reduction to the fuel tax rate that was in place previously, noted the premier. The 12.5 cent per litre fuel tax rate will be applied to gasoline and diesel across the province beginning on Jan. 1, 2025.

The fuel tax holiday has helped slow inflation in Manitoba, the premier noted. Manitoba had the lowest gas prices in Canada throughout 2024.
