Premier says no PST on carbon tax

Premier Brian Pallister announced on Tuesday March 5, 2019 that the province of Manitoba will not be charging provincial sales tax on the federal carbon tax.

“Ottawa is charging federal sales tax on top of its carbon tax, meaning Manitobans will be hit twice on their natural gas bills,” said Pallister.  “The added cost of charging GST on top of the federal carbon tax means Manitobans will have less disposable income at the end of the month.  Affordability matters and we are ensuring Manitobans will not be triple charged.”  

The federal government has said that they intend to charge GST on top of the carbon tax which equates to a tax on a tax.

The premier noted that the province does not accept a higher, rising carbon tax and will continue to move forward in implementing the Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green plan without a carbon tax.
