The provincial sales tax (PST) in Manitoba is 7%.
This tax applies to most goods and services sold in the province.
Here are some examples of items subject to PST:
- Clothing
- Food (excluding basic groceries)
- Entertainment
- Hotel stays
- Car rentals
- Repair services
However, certain items are exempt from PST, such as:
- Prescription drugs
- Basic groceries
- Medical devices
- Educational materials
It's important to note that the PST is in addition to the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is 5%.
Therefore, the total sales tax in Manitoba is 12% (7% PST + 5% GST).
