General information
Manitoba tax credit programs
Even if you do not have to pay tax, you may be entitled to the primary caregiver tax credit, the personal tax credit, the education property tax credit, the seniors' school tax rebate, and the school tax credit for homeowners. You have to file claims for these Manitoba amounts within three years of the end of the tax year to which they relate.
To claim these amounts, attach a completed Form MB479, Manitoba Credits, and any other applicable forms, to your income tax and benefit return.

calculating Manitoba tax are based on the federal Income Tax
Act.
