The Ford government is also proposing to remove tolls from the provincially owned Highway 407 East, which is expected to save daily commuters approximately $7,200 every year. Ontario temporarily cut the gasoline tax rate by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel tax rate by 5.3 cents per litre back in July 2022, and has since extended the cuts four times. The price consumers pay at the pump is comprised of the cost of crude oil, wholesale margins, retail margins, federal excise tax, Ontario gasoline/fuel tax, and HST. As part of its 2025 budget, the government is proposing legislation that would make the gas and fuel tax rate cut permanent, locking in the provincial tax rate at nine cents per litre if the measure is approved. Ontario is also introducing legislation that would, if passed, permanently remove tolls from the provincially owned section of Highway 407, from Brock Road to Highway 35/115, starting June 1, 2025.
