In Saskatchewan, all road-use fuel tax revenue is dedicated to provincial highway maintenance. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, road-use fuel tax revenue totalled about $454 million in Saskatchewan, while road maintenance expenditures totalled nearly $616 million. The average annual fuel tax paid by owners of non-electric (fuel powered) vehicles in Saskatchewan is estimated at about $150 per vehicle. The new road-use fee will ensure that owners of electric vehicles pay a comparable amount annually. The revenue from this fee, as with road-use fuel tax revenue, will be dedicated to provincial highway maintenance. While this new fee will only apply to passenger vehicles, our government will continue to examine the potential for expanding it to commercial vehicles and inter-jurisdictional trucking, Harpauer said. Our government will also consider options to apply a tax at charging stations.
