Since April 2007 .. crafters, hobbyists, and other non-commercial home businesses with gross annual sales of less than $10,000 .. is not required to register to collect Manitoba Retail Sales Tax. This means that people would not be using their PST number for purchases of products for resale, nor would they collect sales tax on the sales of their products.

Other than that .. it’s been pretty harsh and a strict road for Manitobans to keep compliant with the Manitoba Retail Sales Tax branch. The Goods and Services Tax Rate has decreased from 7% down to 5% in 2008, but there does not seem to be any reduction planned for Manitoba retail sales tax rates.
