The initial list of regions in Western Canada designated for the 2023 livestock tax deferral has been released by the federal government. There are 19 rural municipalities in Manitoba on the list along with 98 in Saskatchewan, 56 in Alberta, and 62 in British Columbia.
So far, none of the locations on the list are ones in the Parkland, but depending on conditions, some could be added to the list in the future.
The RMs in Manitoba that are on the list include:
- Dufferin
- Grey
- Lorne
- Louise
- Macdonald
- Montcalm
- Morris
- Norfolk-Treherne
- North Norfolk
- Pembina
- Portage la Prairie
- Rhineland
- Roland
- St. Laurent
- Stanley
- Thompson
- Victoria
- WestLake-Gladstone
- Woodlands
The livestock tax deferral lets livestock producers who have to sell all or part of their breeding herd due to drought or extreme moisture, to defer some of their income from sales until the next year.
