About the Petro-Canada Receipt
A Petro-Canada receipt documents a fuel or convenience store purchase at one of Canada's largest retail gas networks. It typically records the transaction date, fuel grade, price per litre, volume dispensed, and total paid. Customers often need to recreate a receipt for expense reimbursement, business mileage records, or when the original printout was lost at the pump.
Petro-Canada in Numbers
Petro-Canada was founded in 1975 as a federal Crown corporation and privatized fully by 2004. It merged with Suncor Energy in 2009. Today the Petro-Canada brand operates over 1,500 retail stations across Canada, making it one of the country's largest fuel retail networks. Stations also include car washes and Petro-Points loyalty program integration.

Using a Petro-Canada Receipt
- Fuel purchases are generally non-refundable once dispensed; disputes related to incorrect fuel grade or pump malfunction should be directed to the station manager with the receipt in hand.
- Convenience store items purchased inside the station follow the individual store's return policy, typically allowing exchanges for unopened, undamaged goods with a receipt.
- The receipt's transaction reference number and site number are required when contacting Petro-Canada customer service about billing discrepancies or Petro-Points adjustments.
- Business users should retain receipts for expense and tax purposes, as Canadian tax authorities may require documentation showing the fuel grade, litres, and applicable taxes paid.
FAQs
What information do I need to recreate a Petro-Canada receipt?
You will need the station address, date and time of purchase, fuel grade, price per litre, number of litres dispensed, applicable taxes, total amount, and payment method. The pump or terminal number and a transaction reference code are also typically printed.
Can I get a digital copy of a Petro-Canada receipt?
Petro-Canada does not currently offer a native digital receipt email option at the pump. If you paid by credit card, your card issuer's statement will show the total charge, but itemized fuel details will only appear on the original printed receipt.
How are taxes shown on a Petro-Canada receipt?
Taxes are listed as separate line items below the fuel subtotal. The specific taxes shown depend on the province. For example, Ontario receipts show GST and HST, while Quebec receipts show GST and QST. Some provinces also include a carbon levy as a distinct line.
Why would someone need to recreate a Petro-Canada receipt?
Common reasons include lost or faded thermal receipts, employer expense reimbursement requirements, mileage or fleet reporting, and personal tax deduction documentation for self-employed individuals who use fuel for business purposes.
