๐Ontario is prolonging a temporary tax cut aimed at easing the financial burden on drivers at gas stations. Initially implemented in July 2022, the cut reduces gasoline tax by 5.7 cents per liter and diesel fuel tax by 5.3 cents per liter. Premier Doug Ford announced the extension until the year's end, emphasizing the government's commitment to cost-saving measures during a press conference in Mississauga. Legislation to extend the gas tax cut until December 31, 2024, will be introduced through the 2024 budget on March 26. The province estimates that these tax breaks have annually saved households an average of $320 since their inception. Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy underscores the government's proactive stance in combating high inflation and interest rates. Ford's initial promise to lower gas prices by 10 cents per liter during the 2018 election campaign was partly fulfilled by ending the cap-and-trade system. However, the subsequent implementation of the federal carbon tax nullified some of these savings. Ford urges the federal government to reconsider the planned increase in the carbon tax scheduled for April 1, citing additional financial strain on Ontarians.โ . ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฑ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ @taxesatjoy @augustine.joy_ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐ผ๐จ๐จ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ค๐ก๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฝ๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐พ๐ค๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ผ๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ +๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ@๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ.๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐ญ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ.๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ . . #OntarioGasTax #TaxCutExtension #CostSavings #DougFordGovernment #FinancialRelief #CarbonTax #FederalPolicy #BudgetAnnouncement #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
