Fuel tax

Applied to purchases of fuel, including gasoline, diesel, propane (for motive purposes), aviation fuel, locomotive fuel and renewable fuels.

In Alberta, fuel tax is reported and remitted by refiners and large wholesalers, who are designated as full direct remitters. The full direct remitter recovers the fuel tax when the fuel is sold, tax-included, to the next entity in the distribution chain. Find out how it works.
