Manitoba Budget Extends Small Business Tax Threshold Arm
The Manitoba budget raises the corporate tax free income threshold from 425000 to 450000, cutting taxes for many small firms. Finance minister Greg Dewar says Manitoba remains the only province to eliminate the small business tax, citing 3.8 billion in savings since 1999. Yet many self employed and rural workers remain unaffected as most are not incorporated and benefit instead from a higher personal exemption.
