The provincial fuel tax in Manitoba will return in the new year, albeit down 1.5 cent per litre from its level prior to a one-year holiday throughout 2024.
What's more commonly known as the provincial gas tax will return on Jan. 1 at a rate of 12.5 per cents a litre, Premier Wab Kinew said Monday morning in a statement.
The gas tax was 14 cents a litre prior to 2024, and Kinew promised in March he would "never let the gas tax get as high" as it was under the former PC government.
