How sales tax works in Manitoba

Manitoba charges the 5% federal GST plus its own 7% retail sales tax (RST), for 12% combined on most purchases.

RST is calculated on the selling price before GST, so there is no tax on tax: $100 becomes $100 + $5 GST + $7 RST = $112.

The RST rate was 8% from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2019 and has been 7% since July 1, 2019.

How to calculate GST and RST in Manitoba

  1. Step 1

    Add GST and RST to a price

    Multiply the price before tax by 1.12. For example, $100 × 1.12 = $112.00.

  2. Step 2

    Find the tax on a price

    Multiply the price before tax by 0.12. For example, $100 × 0.12 = $12.00.

  3. Step 3

    Remove GST and RST from a total

    Divide the tax-included total by 1.12. For example, $112.00 ÷ 1.12 = $100.00 before tax.
