A Winnipeg accountant for RST, GST and the year in between.
Manitoba runs its own retail sales tax beside the federal GST, filed with Manitoba Finance under a separate registration. We work with Winnipeg businesses remotely from Thornhill, Ontario.
Two sales taxes, and a provincial corporate rate of zero.
Manitoba asks more of you than Alberta on sales tax and gives more back than most provinces on small business corporate tax.
RST is filed with the province
GST is 5% and goes to the CRA. Manitoba Retail Sales Tax is 7% and goes to Manitoba Finance under its own registration, with its own return and its own due dates.
The provincial small business rate is zero
Manitoba charges no provincial corporate income tax on income eligible for the small business deduction. That makes staying inside the deduction worth planning for rather than discovering.
Payroll carries a provincial levy above a threshold
Manitoba charges employers a payroll levy once total remuneration passes an annual exemption. It is a provincial registration, separate from CRA remittances.
The businesses that keep stock and staff.
Retail and wholesale
Businesses charging RST at the counter, where the registration, the exemptions and the return have to line up.
Trades running subcontractors
Contractors whose subcontractor reporting and job costing decide what the year-end looks like.
Incorporated professionals
Practitioners whose corporate and personal returns need planning as one position rather than two.
The ones we get asked most.
Do you file Manitoba RST returns?
Yes. RST is a separate provincial registration filed with Manitoba Finance, handled alongside your GST rather than sold as a separate service.
Is Manitoba corporate tax filed with the T2?
Yes. Unlike Alberta and Quebec, Manitoba corporate tax is collected by the CRA through the federal return, so there is one corporate filing.
Can you work with a Winnipeg business from Ontario?
Yes. Shared bookkeeping access, email, video and CRA authorization cover the year. Manitoba is an hour behind Ontario, so the working day overlaps almost completely.
What happens if I am behind on filings?
We start with where you actually are. Catching up late returns is common work and it is better done deliberately than left to accumulate.
We also work with businesses in these cities.

In their words.
Aaron has done my personal taxes for six years and he’s the best. My files are sometimes complicated and I was not always the most organized client, yet he handles all of it without ever making me feel bad about the mess. He’s fast, he explains everything in plain English, and he always finds credits I would have missed.Shmuel Neft
