Manitoba Eases Sales Tax Reporting for 5000 Vendors
Manitoba Treasurer Gurney Evans announced relief for about 5000 vendors and buyers with monthly taxable transactions under 200 dollars. They may file quarterly returns instead of monthly, with notices to follow and first filings due in December. Monthly returns remain for higher transactions, and the move aims to cut mailing and processing costs with insignificant tax impact.

Mid August trials by Ken Stinson, Ivan Fleming, and Allied Chemicals used 2-4-0 low volatile ester amitrole-7 and Banvel 3 with pronounced results.
