Municipal
Payments and Taxes
Municipal
Payment
The SaskEnergy Act requires SaskEnergy to remit
a municipal payment to each of 109 urban municipalities. Subject
to certain exemptions, this payment is calculated as a
percentage of natural gas sales revenue collected within the
municipality. In those municipalities where a municipal payment
applies, the amount of the payment is displayed as a separate
line item on each customer's bill.
GST
Collected and remitted to Revenue Canada and
applies to SaskEnergy charges as well as municipal payments.
PST
The Provincial Sales Tax Act exempts natural
gas from tax when used for heating purposes.
