Manitoba gas prices are at their lowest point in nearly two years. As of Jan. 1, the province’s 14-cent per litre tax on gasoline and diesel for motor vehicles were paused for six months, as part of the NDP government’s promised gas tax holiday.
The Manitoba government introduced amendments to Bill 3, the fuel tax amendment act, which will temporarily pause the collection of the provincial tax on gasoline, natural gas, marked fuel and diesel fuels for at least six months starting January 1, 2024. The average Manitoba family with two cars is expected to save approximately $250 during the six-month fuel tax holiday.
