How Manitoba's land transfer tax works

The tax is marginal. A $400,000 Winnipeg home pays nothing on the first $30,000, $300 on the next $60,000, $600 on the next $60,000, $750 on the next $50,000 and $4,000 on the last $200,000, for $5,650. Above $200,000 every additional dollar is taxed at 2%, so the effective rate keeps climbing toward 2% on expensive homes. The tax is paid to the Land Titles Office through your lawyer on registration, plus a small registration fee.

First-time buyers in Manitoba

Manitoba has no land transfer tax rebate or exemption for first-time buyers. The federal Home Buyers' Amount, Home Buyers' Plan and First Home Savings Account still apply. Budget 2026 announced amendments effective January 1, 2027 aimed at transfers of beneficial ownership that avoid the tax by leaving legal title unchanged; no rate or bracket changes were proposed.

Buying a rental property in Manitoba

For an investment property the land transfer tax is not deductible against rental income. It is added to your adjusted cost base, recovered partly through capital cost allowance on the building and fully through a smaller capital gain when you sell, as explained in our capital gains on a rental property guide. Add it to the purchase price in our rental property calculator so your cash-on-cash return reflects the real cash you put in.
