Gas tax rates per province

We all may be complaining about how expensive gas is these days, but this may all vary depending on where you fill up. Canadian government takes 10 per cent and rest depends on which province you live in.

Last year (2015) taxes in Canada represented on average 38.5 cents per litre.

Not all provinces charge same tax rates. There are federal, gst/hst, provincial sales and provincial fuel taxes you pay already included in your price of gas.
