On April 2, 2024, Manitoba's Finance Minister Adrien Sala tabled the province's fiscal 2024-25 budget.
Here are some of the highlights from Manitoba’s budget that impact payroll:
- The Basic Personal Amount (BPA) is currently projected at $16,206 for 2025. The value of the credit is the BPA multiplied by the lowest Manitoba tax bracket rate of 10.8 percent. Beginning with the 2025 tax year, Manitoba will phase out the BPA over a net income range of $200,000 to $400,000.
- The government will make it easier for employees to exercise their right to join a union, bring in single-step certification, allow project labour agreements, establish a transparent dispute resolution process for essential services disputes, and ban replacement workers so that employees can exercise their legal rights in the workplace.
