The
Ontario government has announced in its 2024 Ontario
Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review: Building Ontario for You, that it is
continuing to adopt a “fiscally responsible” stance by investing in the economy
and constructing the vital infrastructure that Ontario’s expanding communities
require, “reducing gridlock”, and making life “more affordable” by giving
individuals and families immediate relief while lowering the debt load for
future generations. Ontario's fall economic statement was presented by Finance
Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy on October 30, 2024.
The
temporary tax rate reductions for gasoline and diesel fuel that went into
effect on July 1, 2022, will be extended by the province. The tax rate on
gasoline and diesel will stay at nine cents per liter until June 30, 2025, as
per the proposed extension. Prior to this, the province's fuel and gasoline tax
cuts, which were 5.7 and 5.3 cents per liter, respectively, were scheduled to
end on December 31, 2024.
