Manitoba Ends Temporary 2% Sales Tax September 30
Finance Minister Don Craik reminds Manitoba consumers and retailers that the temporary two percent sales tax ends September 30 and the rate returns to five percent on October 1. The guide lines detail when the 5% or 2% rate applies for goods, rentals, lodging, telecommunications, and services, with calculations shown for mixed-period charges. Craik notes Ottawa’s stance on extending the cut and cites $63.5 million cost, split between Ottawa and Manitoba, and says the experiment’s value warrants further study.
