The global sales tax for MB is calculated from goods and services tax (GST) in Canada rate (5%) and the PST or RST rate of 7%.
There are plenty of reduced rates for specific situations. We showed some of them in our GST / RST calculator.
IFP stand for “infrastructure funding period”: the 10-year period beginning July 1, 2013, and ending June 30, 2023.
Amount without sales taxes x (GST rate/100) = Amount of GST in MB
Amount without sales taxes x (PST rate/100) = Amount of PST in MB
Amount without sales tax + GST amount + PST amount = Total amount with sales tax
20$ x (5/100) = 1$ (GST)
20$ x (7/100) = 1.40$ (GST)
20$ + 1$ + 1.40$ = 22.40$
Residing in the province of Manitoba and also run a business there, then this little guide is just for you. If you run your retail business in any of these provinces- British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Quebec, then you must charge provincial sales tax (PST) on all items sold, unless exempt, in addition to the federal charges or the Goods and Services Tax(GST).
There are other provinces that have come down to a consolidated tax rather than charging two different kinds of taxes in the form of Harmonized Sales Tax or HST. However, Manitoba, unlike the other provinces, still has not incorporated the PST in GST.
In Manitoba, provincial sales tax is called retail sales tax (RST) and is charged at a rate of 8%.The Retail Sales Tax (RST) is a tax applied to the retail sale or rental of most goods and certain services in Manitoba.
