1 Bulletin d'information ""'95-6 December 1, 1995 Subject: SPECIFIC TAX ON GASOLINE IN THE METROPOLITAN MONTRÉAL REGION TO FUND THE AGENCE MÉTROPOLITAINE DE TRANSPORT Further to the tabling last June of Bill 1 02 creating the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), the Minister of Transport today announced that part of the Agency's funding would be derived from a tax of 1.5 cents a litre applicable, as of January 1, 1996, throughout the metropolitan Montréal region under the responsibility of the AMT. Consequently, subject to the sanction of Bill 102 by the National Assembly and to its application as of January 1, 1996, the fuel tax applicable to gasoline will rise from 15.2 cents a litre to 16.7 cents a litre, as of this date, throughout the territory under the responsibility of the AMT. The municipalities included within this territory are mentioned in the appendix. Accordingly, the fuel tax will be raised by 1.5 cents a litre wh en a retail dealer delivers this fuel to a consumer within the territory of the AMT. A collection officer will therefore have to collect the tax increase in advance when he delivers gasoline in the territory of the AMT to a wholesaler who is not under an agreement with the ministère du Revenu or to a retail dealer. However, this increase in the gasoline tax will not apply to gasoline used to supply an aircraft engine which currently enjoys a reduced rate of 3 cents a litre. In addition, the exemptions and refunds included in the fuel tax system will also apply to the additional tax.

The refund will apply to the portion of the gasoline delivered or brought outside the territory of the AMT.
