In Manitoba, two separate sales taxes are added to the price of most goods and services: the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 5% and the Manitoba Retail Sales Tax (RST) at 7%, for a total of 12%. Unlike the harmonized provinces, Manitoba has not merged its tax with the GST; the RST remains a separate provincial tax, administered by Manitoba Finance. The calculator above uses the 2026 rates. Understanding how these taxes work is essential for accurate invoicing and knowing which taxes you can reclaim on your business purchases.
In Manitoba, the GST (5%) and RST (7%) are each calculated on the subtotal before tax and then added to the final price for a combined rate of 12%. Neither applies to the other. The calculator remembers the exact rates and applies them automatically, preventing rounding errors on your invoice.
A taxable sale (the majority of sales) is charged at the full rate, which is 12% in Manitoba. A zero-rated sale is charged at 0%, but the business can usually reclaim the VAT paid on related purchases. An exempt sale carries no tax, and the business cannot reclaim the taxes paid on related inputs. The exact categories (basic food, health, certain services) vary, and some are specific to Manitoba's RST (Regional Standards Tax).

By default, the calculator applies Manitoba's 2026 rates: federal GST (5%) and provincial RST (7%), for a combined rate of 12%. You can also select another province or territory to obtain the applicable sales tax or other provincial tax. Certain categories of goods may be taxed differently, zero-rated, or exempt.
Enter your total including taxes and specify that the tax is already included: in Manitoba, the tool calculates the subtotal before taxes by dividing by 1.12 (the combined rate of 5% GST plus 7% RST), then separates the GST and RST. Our calculator performs these calculations automatically.
In Manitoba, the obligation to collect GST is based on a sales threshold of $30,000, while the RST (Return on Social Security Contributions) is governed by its own provincial rules administered by Manitoba Finance. Once registered, a business charges its customers the tax, files periodic returns, and remits the net GST to the CRA and the RST to Manitoba. An accountant can confirm your obligations based on your business activity.
VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable sales exceed €30,000 for four consecutive quarters (below this threshold, the business is considered a small supplier). Manitoba's RST follows its own provincial registration thresholds and rules, separate from those of the GST. Voluntary VAT registration remains an option to recover tax paid on purchases.
For the GST, a registered business deducts the tax paid on its business expenses from the tax collected on its sales through input tax credits (ITCs), and then remits the difference to the CRA. Manitoba's RST works differently: as it is a retail sales tax, RST paid on purchases is generally not reclaimed through credits. It is therefore often added to the business's actual cost.
