What this bill does
This bill amends Newfoundland and Labrador's Revenue Administration Act to make permanent a 7-cent-per-litre tax reduction on common grades of gasoline (primarily regular and premium pump fuel), while also setting out the tax rates for propane, marine fuel, diesel, and aviation fuel.

Business impact
Tax
Any business that buys gasoline at retail in Newfoundland and Labrador is directly affected — think of a tradesperson fuelling a work truck, a small trucking or delivery operation buying diesel, a fishing boat operator, or a small aviation charter service. The reduced rate of $0.075 per litre on 'all other grades' (everyday pump gasoline) lowers fuel costs compared to the previous rate. Businesses with larger vehicle fleets or heavy fuel consumption — like couriers, contractors, or transport operators — will notice the savings most. Diesel users pay $0.095 per litre and marine operators (non-pleasure craft) pay $0.035 per litre, rates that matter to commercial fishers and coastal freight operators across the province.
