In Manitoba, two separate sales taxes are added to the price of most goods and services: the 5% federal GST and the 7% Manitoba Retail Sales Tax (RST), 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 billing correctly and knowing which taxes you can claim back on your business purchases.
In Manitoba, the GST (5%) and PST (7%) are each calculated on the pre-tax subtotal and then added to the final price, resulting in a combined rate of 12%. Neither tax is applied to the other. The calculator uses the exact rates and applies them automatically, preventing rounding errors in your billing.
A taxable sale (the majority of cases) is charged at the full rate, which is 12% in Manitoba. A zero-rated sale is charged at 0%, but the business can generally recover the GST paid on related purchases. An exempt sale is subject to no tax, and the business cannot recover the GST paid on related inputs. The exact categories (basic food, health care, certain services) vary, and some are specific to Manitoba’s HST.

In Manitoba, the GST (5%) is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency, and the PST (7%) by Manitoba Finance. Rates effective in 2026, based on official sources.
By default, the calculator applies Manitoba’s 2026 rates: the federal GST (5%) and the provincial RST (7%), for a combined rate of 12%. You can also select another province or territory to calculate the QST, HST, or another provincial tax. Certain categories of goods may be taxed differently, zero-rated, or exempt.
Enter your total amount (including tax) and specify that the tax is already included: in Manitoba, the tool calculates the subtotal excluding tax by dividing by 1.12 (the combined rate of 5% GST plus 7% PST), then breaks down the GST and PST separately. Our calculator performs these calculations automatically.
In Manitoba, the obligation to collect GST depends on a revenue threshold of $30,000, while the PST is subject to specific provincial rules administered by Manitoba Finance. Once registered, the business charges the tax to its customers, 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 activities.
Registration for the GST becomes mandatory as soon as taxable sales exceed $30,000 over four consecutive quarters (below this threshold, the business is considered a small supplier). Manitoba’s RST follows its own provincial registration thresholds and rules, which are distinct from those of the GST. Voluntary GST registration remains an option to reclaim 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 using input tax credits (ITCs), and then remits the difference to the CRA. Manitoba’s RST works differently: since it is a retail sales tax, the RST paid on purchases generally cannot be recovered through credits. It therefore often adds to the business’s actual costs.
