Thank you, Premier Smith, for listening to Alberta's small business community!
Fuel costs remain the second-largest cost constraint facing small businesses, according to CFIB's Business Barometer. Suspending the fuel tax will provide welcome relief at the pump.
Since July, 661 Alberta small business owners signed CFIB's petition after being left out of the Alberta Energy Rebate. Today's announcement shows those concerns were heard. #ABPoli #SmallBusiness
Global uncertainty continues to push energy prices higher, and that’s putting more pressure on Albertans’ wallets.
Today I announced that relief is on the way. Starting Oct. 1, Alberta will suspend the full provincial fuel tax, saving Albertans 13 cents per litre on gasoline and diesel every time they fill up until the end of the year. This is practical relief that helps families, workers and businesses keep more money in their pockets.
Albertans already pay the lowest overall taxes in Canada, and this cut adds to our unmatched tax advantage.
