The Mega Deduction in Manitoba
Manitoba corporations pay a combined 9.0% on small business income (federal 9% + provincial 0%) and 27.0% at the general rate (15% + 12%). Every dollar deducted in year one under the Mega Deduction reduces tax by that percentage.
Manitoba charges 0% provincial tax on small business income, so the federal 9% rate is the whole story for CCPCs under the limit.
