Public Advisory: Further Extension for Fuel Tax Exemption Permits Deadline

  • Finance

June 17, 2020

The expiry date for Fuel Tax Exemption Permits, allowing permit holders to purchase tax-exempt marked gasoline and light fuel oil, that were originally set to expire on March 31, 2020 has been further extended to August 31, 2020.

Gasoline and carbon product retailers throughout the province are authorized to accept such permits and continue to sell marked diesel and light fuel oil exempt of gasoline and carbon tax to these permit holders up to and including August 31, 2020.

Extension of the exemption will ensure permit holders (primarily fishers), are not negatively impacted by any inability to apply for a permit extension or processing delays resulting from COVID-19.
