Definition of Gross and Net Sales
Gross sales represents total sales of all road grades of gasoline for all uses, including off-road activities such as farming, forestry, construction or mining.
Net sales refer to the sale of gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas on which taxes were remitted at road-use rates. These net figures represent, with minor exceptions, the amount of taxable fuel actually consumed on public roads in Canada.
Note: Sales on which tax was paid at road-use rates.
