Ontario Permanently Cutting Gas Tax and Taking Tolls Off Highway 407 East

May 13, 2025

Our government knows that hard-working families and businesses are worried about rising costs, especially as U.S. tariffs threaten to raise the price of everyday essentials.

That is why we are cutting the gas tax permanently and taking tolls off Highway 407 East.

Under the leadership of Premier Ford, we’re putting more money back into people’s pockets by cutting the gasoline and fuel tax rate to 9 cents per litre, saving households on average about $115 per year going forward, and removing tolls from the provincially owned Highway 407 East, saving daily commuters an estimated $7,200 annually.

These measures build on other initiatives our government has taken to keep costs down for commuters, including the elimination of licence plate renewal fees and stickers and freezing fees for driver’s licences and Ontario Photo Cards.

More information about our government’s plan to protect Ontario, grow our economy and make Ontario the most competitive jurisdiction in the G7 to invest will be included in the 2025 Budget, to be released on May 15, 2025.
