Manitoba Sales Tax: 5% GST & 7% PST (RST)

Manitoba charges a combined sales tax rate of 12%. This consists of:

  • GST: 5.0% (Federal Goods and Services Tax).
  • PST/RST: 7.0% (Provincial Sales Tax, officially called Retail Sales Tax).

RST in Manitoba is administered directly by Manitoba Finance. Businesses registered to collect tax must file separate returns for GST (to the CRA) and RST (to Manitoba Finance).

Manitoba Retail Sales Tax (RST) Exemptions

Manitoba exempts certain goods and services from the 7% RST. Exempt items include:

  • Basic groceries (prepared foods are taxable).
  • Children's clothing and footwear under specific size limits.
  • Books, newspapers, and school supplies.
  • Most professional services (such as legal and accounting services, though legal services are taxable under provincial rules).

Federal GST still applies to many of these items, even if they are exempt from provincial RST.

Addressing the 'Manitoba HST' Misconception

Many taxpayers search for "Manitoba HST" assuming that Manitoba has harmonized its sales tax. Manitoba has consistently rejected harmonization.

Because the tax systems are separate, businesses cannot claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) for Manitoba RST. RST paid is simply treated as a deductible business expense on your income tax return.
