Manitoba businesses affected by wildfires can apply for tax deferrals
Manitoba businesses that have been impacted by the wildfire situation in the province can now apply for tax relief.
Finance Minister Adrien Sala announced the relief plan Thursday afternoon in a news release, saying eligible businesses can start applying this week.
'Our main priority as a government has been to keep people safe and supporting Manitobans impacted by wildfires. This wildfire season has been worse than many in recent years and we're using every tool available to us to help Manitobans during this challenging period,' Sala said in the release.
Businesses will be able to apply for a penalty and interest waiver when paying any provincially administered taxes.
'This option is being provided as many wildfire-affected businesses may not have access to relevant records, technical resources or the capacity to file at this time,' the province said.
Details about the tax process can be found online.
