Manitoba Income Tax 2026 | MB Tax Brackets & Rates

Updated

Manitoba Income Tax 2026

Manitoba uses a simple 3-bracket provincial tax system with rates from 10.8% to 17.4%. Notably, the top provincial rate of 17.4% applies at $100,000 — one of the lowest thresholds in Canada. Manitoba does not harmonize its sales tax with the federal GST, instead charging a separate 7% Retail Sales Tax (RST). On the positive side, Manitoba has one of Canada’s highest basic personal amounts at $15,780, which reduces tax at lower income levels.
