Changes to Provincial Tax Credits

• The Manitoba School Tax Rebate has been removed for all properties except farm properties.
• The Education Property Tax Credit has been removed.
• Homeowners may now be entitled to the Manitoba Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC).
• Those who have received the Education Property Tax Credit previously will receive the HATC in its place.

The Manitoba Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit offsets school taxes for homeowners in Manitoba, offering a tax credit of up to $1,500 for eligible property owners. The tax credit is applied directly to the municipal property tax statement.

The HATC is a Manitoba tax credit. Residents of Flin Flon, Saskatchewan, are not eligible for this particular tax credit.

In order to have the credit applied to your property tax bill this year, you must self-declare your property as your principal residence with City Hall using the form below. If you have already been receiving the Education Property Tax Credit, you do not need to self-declare for this year: you will automatically receive the HATC.
