School Tax Rebate
If you own farmland in Manitoba, you may be eligible for a rebate on the farmland portion of your 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 school taxes.
A rebate of 33% was introduced in 2004, with an increase to 50% in 2005, 60% for 2006, 65% in 2007 and the rebates for 2008, 2009, and 2010 are increasing to 70%, 75% and 80% respectively.
Your farmland does not currently have to be in cultivation or used for grazing in order to be eligible for the rebate. The rebate applies to the farmland portion of your school taxes and does not apply to residences or other buildings on your farmland.
The rebate for 2004 & 2005 has expired and the 2006 rebate will expire on December 31, 2010, as you may only apply for the rebate up to three years after the taxes are due.
