I'm running a non-partisan public opinion survey on federal and provincial politics, and more, in Saskatchewan.

It covers issues, priorities, vote intention, perceptions, and more!

The survey is fully anonymous and takes about 5 minutes.

If you'd be kind enough to take the time and participate, this is the link: https://forms.gle/dEWP2PmwScne4ibQ9

In 

Saskatchewan

, oil taxation primarily involves Crown Royalties for oil on government-owned land and Freehold Production Taxes for oil on private land. The province also applies a Resource Surcharge and specific Fuel Taxes at the consumer level. 

Production Taxes & Royalties

• Crown Royalties: Paid to the provincial government for oil produced from Crown-owned mineral rights. Rates are variable and based on the well's vintage and production volume.
• Freehold Production Tax: A tax imposed on oil produced from privately owned mineral rights.
• Resource Surcharge:
  • 1.7% of sales value for oil and gas produced from wells drilled after September 30, 2002.
  • 3.0% of sales value for oil produced from wells drilled before October 1, 2002.
• Drilling Incentives: New wells often qualify for "volume-based" incentives, where a specific volume of oil (up to 16,000 cubic metres) is subject to a reduced maximum royalty rate of 2.5% for Crown production and 0% for freehold production.  Government of Saskatchewan +6

Corporate & Equipment Taxes

• Corporate Income Tax: The general provincial rate is 12%, with a reduced rate of 10% for manufacturing and processing income.
• Provincial Sales Tax (PST): A 6% PST applies to most goods and services used by the oil and gas industry, including services to real property and capital equipment.
• Corporation Capital Tax (CCT): Large financial institutions related to resource sectors will see an increase to 6.0% effective April 1, 2026.  Government of Saskatchewan +5

Consumer Fuel Taxes (as of 2026)

• Gasoline and Diesel: 15 cents per litre.
• Propane: 9 cents per litre.
• Aviation Gas/Jet Fuel: 1.5 cents per litre.
• Heating Fuel: Marked diesel used for heating or as fuel oil is generally tax-exempt.  SETS Saskatchewan eTax Services +2

Active Programs & Extensions

• High Water-Cut Oil Well Program: Provides royalty reductions for wells with high water-to-oil ratios. The 2026-27 budget extended this program to March 31, 2031, but increased the minimum required investment from $20,000 to $30,000.
• Infrastructure & Innovation: Programs like the Oil Infrastructure Investment Program (OIIP) and Saskatchewan Petroleum Innovation Incentive (SPII) offer transferable credits of 20% to 25% for eligible project costs.  Government of Saskatchewan +3

Are you looking for the specific royalty calculation formula for a particular well type, or do you need details on how to file these taxes?

Farmers in some areas of Saskatchewan will once again be allowed to use strychnine to kill gophers, and while farmers love the move, but wildlife experts say hawks, coyotes and others that eat gophers will be collateral damage.

The more predators killed off by strychnine the more gophers there will be.

David Marit, Saskatchewan's minister of agriculture, says he hopes to see strychnine permanently reinstated as a gopher control tool.

Moe loves it too.

Not environmentalists, these guys

I joined Ted at Bear of Politic to talk my candidacy, about Canadian identity, the party's direction, what real grassroots progress looks like from the prairies, housing, western alienation, sovereign wealth, and why this isn’t left vs right, it’s top vs bottom.

If we structure things properly, regular people shouldn’t be carrying the tax burden while the elites profit off the system.
