Registering and collecting tax in Manitoba
GST is administered by the CRA. The provincial Retail Sales Tax (RST) is administered by Manitoba Finance, with its own registration. Most businesses must register for GST/HST once their worldwide taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. For GST/HST, sellers based elsewhere in Canada charge the rate of the province the goods are delivered to, so a sale shipped to Manitoba carries Manitoba's GST/HST rate. RST has its own rules on when out-of-province sellers must register.
