Auckland Fuel Tax confirmed for July 2018
Posted on 21 November, 2017
The price of fuel is set to increase by 10 cents to help fund a series of transport projects, including light rail from Auckland’s CBD to the airport. Aucklanders can expect the change by July 1, 2018, Transport Minister Phil Twyford says. The 1 July date would allow the Auckland council to drop its Interim Transport Levy of $114 per household - a three-year measure designed to boost transport funding ahead of new revenue. The Auckland Mayor Phil Goff will outline his proposals for the city's next 10-year budget on 30 November with the fuel tax being an important part of the revenue mix.
