Federal, provincial and territorial governments charge different taxes on gasoline, varying by province and sometimes by region within a province. The amount of some taxes are fixed, including the 10-cent-a-litre federal gas tax, regardless of the price. Others vary with the price. GST/HST is a 'tax on a tax' applied to the price of gasoline including other taxes.
