Selling into R5A: What You Need to Register For

Manitoba runs a GST + RST system administered by CRA (GST) + Manitoba Taxation (RST), with a registration threshold of $30,000 (GST) / $10,000 (RST) ($10,000 (RST via TAXcess) for remote sellers). Filing frequency, input tax credit recovery, point-of-sale rebates and the full registration walkthrough are set out on the Manitoba sales tax guide — they are province-wide rules, identical for every postal code here, so this page links them rather than repeating them.

1. Charge the rate the address decides. A delivery into R5A is a Manitoba sale, so charge 12% (5% GST + 7% provincial tax) — your own address does not enter into it.
2. Show it the way CRA (GST) + Manitoba Taxation (RST) expects. GST and RST as separate line items; the provincial authority audits for correct disclosure.

Everything else about selling here — thresholds, filing frequency, ITC recovery, point-of-sale rebates, and the full province-by-province sourcing rules — is identical for every postal code in Manitoba and is set out once on the Manitoba sales tax guide and in the Manitoba GST/HST calculator.
