Description
Each year the Government of Alberta forecasts tax revenue and publishes the forecasts in the government’s fiscal plan. This data provides detail on the revenue raised by each tax and includes applicable tax rates. For example, fuel tax revenue is disaggregated by fuel type (i.e., gasoline and diesel, propane, aviation fuel, and railway). The table also includes the amount of revenue generated per unit of tax. For example, it is estimated that for 2014-15 the province collects $63 million for every one cent of fuel tax levied on gasoline.

Usage Considerations
The tax raised per unit can be used to estimate the amount of tax revenue that would be generated or saved if the government were to change tax rates. The revenue per point is based on forecasted revenue and does not account for behavioural changes that would result from raising or lowering rates. Behavioural changes would impact revenue.
