CLOUD SERVICES & PROVINCIAL SALES TAX
A CLEARER FORECAST IN MANITOBA & WESTERN CANADA
It only got a single line in Manitoba’s 2025 budget - unlike housing measures that came with charts and headlines - but the new provincial sales tax on cloud services could bring just as much fiscal weight. As part of its 2025 budget, Manitoba announced it will apply its 7% Provincial Sales Tax (“PST”) to Software as a Service (“SaaS”), Platform as a Service (“PaaS”), and Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”), starting January 1, 2026.
Manitoba is the latest to adopt this trend, following BC (which we wrote about here) and Saskatchewan*. The message across Western Canada is clear: cloud services are in the “net tax”!
