Notes and Sources
Notes:
1. Most provinces/territories only report fuel tax revenues from the road mode. The estimates for fuel tax revenues from the road mode possibly include revenues from the other modes and from non-transportation uses including farming and off-road vehicles. At the same time, the transportation portion of fuel charge revenues from provincial/territorial pollution pricing regimes is likely under-reported and will be addressed in future reports.
2. Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not have provincial/territorial sales taxes.
3. Includes licences and related fees formerly reported separately but no longer available.
Sources: Data received from selected federal departments and agencies and from provincial/territorial governments; federal and provincial/territorial Public Accounts; federal and provincial sales tax estimates from Statistics Canada data; Natural Resources Canada National Energy Use Database, Energy Use Handbook Data Tables (used to estimate the transportation portion of federal fuel charges); other government published sources.

1. Most provinces/territories only report fuel tax revenues from the road mode. The estimates for fuel tax revenues from the road mode possibly include revenues from the other modes and from non-transportation uses including farming and off-road vehicles. At the same time, the transportation portion of fuel charge revenues from provincial/territorial pollution pricing regimes is likely under-reported and will be addressed in future reports.
2. Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not have provincial/territorial sales taxes.
3. Includes licences and related fees formerly reported separately but no longer available.
