Driving on a provincially-owned section of Highway 407 East won't run up your bill starting this weekend, as the provincial government will be removing tolls from this section to save daily commuters an estimated $7,200 annually. The government introduced the legislation through its 2025 Budget, which will make the cut to the gas and fuel tax rate permanent and keep the provincial tax rates at nine cents per litre. "Ontario families have seen prices on everyday items go up over the last several years," said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance. "By permanently cutting the gas tax, we're fulfilling our commitment to put more money back into the pockets of hardworking families, where it belongs." Ontario previously cut the gasoline tax rate by 5.7 cents per litre and the fuel (diesel) tax rate by 5.3 cents per litre in 2022, and has since extended the cuts four times.
