Manitoba Land Transfer Tax Rates 2025

Purchase Price Bracket	Tax Rate
First $30,000	0.5%
$30,001 to $90,000	1.0%

How to Calculate Manitoba Land Transfer Tax

The tax is calculated in brackets — similar to income tax. You apply each rate only to the portion of the purchase price within that bracket.

Example: $380,000 Winnipeg Home

First $30,000 × 0.5% = $150
$30,001–$90,000 ($60,000) × 1.0% = $600
$90,001–$150,000 ($60,000) × 1.5% = $900
$150,001–$200,000 ($50,000) × 2.0% = $1,000
$200,001–$380,000 ($180,000) × 2.0% = $3,600
Total LTT: $6,250

Example: $500,000 Winnipeg Home

First $30,000 × 0.5% = $150
$30,001–$90,000 × 1.0% = $600
$90,001–$150,000 × 1.5% = $900
$150,001–$200,000 × 2.0% = $1,000
$200,001–$500,000 ($300,000) × 2.0% = $6,000
Total LTT: $8,650

First-Time Buyer Land Transfer Tax Rebate

Manitoba offers one of Canada's most generous first-time buyer LTT rebates. First-time buyers receive a full rebate of all land transfer tax paid, up to a maximum of $8,250.

Since the LTT on the average Winnipeg home ($380,000) is approximately $6,250 — well under the $8,250 cap — most first-time Winnipeg buyers pay zero land transfer tax.

Eligibility for the Manitoba LTT First-Time Buyer Rebate

Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
Must be 18 years of age or older
Must not have previously owned a home that was your principal residence anywhere in the world
Must occupy the home as your principal residence within 9 months of purchase
The property must be in Manitoba

How to Claim the Rebate

The rebate is applied at the time of closing by your real estate lawyer. You do not need to apply separately — just confirm your first-time buyer status with your lawyer when preparing transfer documents. The rebate reduces the land transfer tax payable directly.

Land Transfer Tax vs Winnipeg Property Tax

Land transfer tax is a one-time provincial tax paid at closing. It is separate from annual Winnipeg property tax, which is paid to the City of Winnipeg based on your assessed property value. These are two distinct obligations — do not confuse them when budgeting for your purchase.
