Gas Tax Fund Allocation Table
The Gas Tax Fund has been made available for the benefit of all municipalities across the country in accordance with Keeping Canada's Economy and Jobs Growing Act, S.C. 2011, c. 24 as amended by section 233 of the Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 1, S.C. 2013, c. 33. As announced in Economic Action Plan 2013, the Gas Tax Fund, made permanent in 2011 at $2 billion per year, is now indexed at 2 per cent per year, starting in 2014-15, with increases to be applied in $100-million increments from 2014-15 to 2023-24. This represents $21.8 billion in flexible, long term funding for municipal infrastructure (Budget 2013).
The Gas Tax Fund is allocated on a per-capita basis for provinces, territories and First Nations, but provides a base funding amount of 0.75 per cent of total annual funding for Prince Edward Island and each territory. This funding will be administered through renewed bilateral agreements outlining the terms and conditions for the use of the Gas Tax Fund.
