The Proposed Increase
of 331/ % in
GASOLINE TAXATION
IT IS proposed by the Government of the Province of Ontario to increase the tax on gasoline from six
cents to eight cents per gallon. This increase, if made effective, means that the average motorist*
driving 10,000 miles in a year and getting 18 miles to the gallon out of his car will pay over $10 ad-
ditional to the gasoline tax of $33.33 which he is now paying. Figure it out for yourself. From sin
cents to eight cents a gallon ,leans this :

registrations in Ontario in 1938 but 48,561 were new cars. Yet the automobile owner is the most heavily
taxed man in the community. In 1936 be was already contributing 30% of the provincial revenue. Here
are the figures for 1936 and 1937, the latest official figures from the Government.
1936', - 1937 1938,
The Provincial Revenue was .. $90,321,896 $99,838,595
The Provincial Taxation on gasoline.... 016,049,857 17,644,164 *$18,318,171
• This figure is based upon the percentage increase in gasoline
consumption, which percentage figure was obtained from
government sources.
f Coupled with license fees in 1936. this TAX represents 30%
of the Provincial Revenue.
Since the motorist already bears 30% of the taxation burden of the Province, it is manifestly unfair to
, increase the burden.
Provincial Revenue from the taxation of Motor,
Vehicles, Ontario, 1936:
Paid by the public in Gasoline Taxation $16,049,857
Paid by the public in Licenses, etc 11,144,956
$27,194,813
Spent by the Government in Highway Construction
and Maintenance:
(All Provinciah Expenditures) $ 9,419,509
Interest and Sinking Fund 13,630,543
$23,050,052
Diverted ' $.4,144,761
In 1936 money collected for highway maintenance was being• diverted from this purpose to the extent of
$4,000,000.
There is not available from official Government sources Expenditure on Roads, Interest • and Sinking
'Fund charges, etc. subsequent to 1936. '
It is now proposed to secure an additional $6,000,000 from the motorists of the Province through an
increase in. the' gasoline tax 'f'rom six to eight cents per gallon. While the motorist, as a citizen, has
been willing to assist the Government in problems of administration, a limit must be set to the burden
' imposed upon him.
If you, as a car owner, are content to assume the added burden represented by a '2 -cent increase in the
gasoline tax, there is nothing you need do. Your silence will be interpreted as consent.
If you are not content, and wish to place yourself on record to that effect in the only quarter where your,
objection will carry weight, call at your regular service station, whether it be a B -A station or any other,
and ask for a card which has been distributed for your convenience.
Just sign it, fill in your address, and leave it with the station attendant.
