REGINA, SK: New Year’s Day will bring the end to an old problem in Manitoba: bracket creep. The provincial government will start indexing tax brackets to inflation starting Jan. 1, 2017, and that’s a significant victory after years of campaigning by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
“Previous Manitoba governments imposed sneaky tax hikes every year by failing to end bracket creep,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the CTF. “By ending bracket creep, Manitobans will no longer get hit with tax increases every January 1st just because inflation rises.”
