This new web page replaces and consolidates the ministry’s previous motor fuel tax web pages and carbon tax web pages. The ministry has also combined a number of existing motor fuel tax bulletins and carbon tax notices into single and more comprehensive bulletins.

Notices, bulletins and forms that are specific to a single Act or that overlap with both Acts are identified by the check boxes on the right hand side of this page.

  • A checkmark under MFT indentifies publications that are specific to the Motor Fuel Tax Act.
  • A checkmark under CT identifies publications that are specific to the Carbon Tax Act.
  • A checkmark under MFT and CT identifies publications that are specific to both Acts.

Please subscribe to this page if you wish to be automatically notified when further changes are made. You may also wish to bookmark this page or add it to your “Favorites” for future reference.
