Ontario Extends 5.7 Cent Gas Tax Cut to June 2025, Distributes $200 Cheques
Oct 27, 2024, 03:42 PM
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced plans to extend a temporary cut to gasoline and diesel taxes until June 2025. This extension aims to save Ontario households an average of $380. The 5.7 cent gas tax cut is part of Ford's broader strategy to reduce taxes and fees, which has faced criticism from opponents like Bonnie Crombie, who has labeled these measures as 'gimmicks'. Additionally, Ford's government is distributing $200 cheques to Ontarians, though the process has proven more complex than anticipated.
