Canadian Taxpayers Federation behind push for elimination of federal excise tax

A report released yesterday by the Parliamentary Budget Office has caught the attention of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. 

With fuel and diesel prices at record levels, the CTF says the study clearly shows Canadians need relief at the pumps. 

The findings estimate the average family will save up to $486 from the time the federal excise tax was paused in April until it returns January 31, 2027.

“Everytime you’re filling up a family minivan, that’s saving you $7.50 each time,” Taxpayers Federation lberta director Kris Sims emphasizes.
