Ontario extends 5.7-cent gas tax cut until June 2025, with savings of $380 per household.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government plans to extend a 5.7-cent gas tax cut until June 30, 2025, keeping the rate at 9 cents per litre. This initiative also includes a 5.3-cent cut for diesel fuel. Since the tax reductions began in July 2022, the average Ontario household is estimated to save $380. Ford has also urged the federal government to eliminate the carbon tax, which he argues exacerbates financial pressures on families.
