Fuel tax paused until December 31

Jun 20, 2023

The rising cost of living is a top concern for Albertans and Alberta’s government remains committed to keeping everyday life more affordable by saving Albertans 13 cents per litre every time they fill up for the remainder of the year. This will help an Alberta family save between $6 and $18 every time they fill up their vehicle.

The fuel tax pause program has provided relief at a time of need and will continue to support Albertans. To date, Albertans have saved $1.5 billion and paid what have often been the lowest fuel prices in the country. Extending the pause will save another $520 million for Albertans.

“We are committed to keeping life affordable for Alberta families. Saving Albertans money when they fill up is Step 1 of this commitment. We will work every day to ensure that Alberta families can put more of their hard-earned money toward their essential needs.”

Danielle Smith, Premier
