Manitobans no longer have to pay PST when they get their personal income tax returns prepared.
Finance Minister Scott Fielding made the announcement and expects the change to save Manitobans nearly $5.5 million per year.
“Our government wants to bring Manitobans some extra relief come tax time and let them keep more of their hard-earned money.”
The exemption of the seven per cent retail sales tax takes effect immediately.
There are plans to give more tax relief to Manitobans by eliminating probate fees on estates and phasing out education property taxes.
