Sales Tax in Manitoba (2026)
Manitoba charges the 5% federal GST plus a 7% retail sales tax (RST), commonly called PST. The RST was cut from 8% to 7% on July 1, 2019.
- GST and RST are separate taxes, both charged on the pre-tax price, for a combined 12%.
- Basic groceries and prescription drugs are exempt from both taxes.
- Manitoba runs its own RST, so businesses register and file with Manitoba Finance separately from their GST account with the CRA.

How to Calculate GST + PST in Manitoba
Adding tax: a $1,000 purchase in Manitoba carries $50.00 GST and $70.00 RST, for $120.00 in tax and a total of $1,120.00 ($1,000 × 1.12).
Removing tax: a $250.00 receipt that includes tax works out to $250.00 ÷ 1.12 = $223.21 before tax, so the tax paid was $26.79. Don't just take 12% off the total: that gives $220.00 and understates the tax.
