Manitoba Offers to Waive Sales Tax on Major Port of Churchill Investments
The exemption covers new energy, rail and marine projects as Manitoba seeks to draw investors to a $85 billion development pipeline.
- On Monday, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced that major capital investments in the Port of Churchill Plus project will receive an exemption from Manitoba's seven per cent retail sales tax.
- Announced at the Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, the measure aims to attract international capital as Kinew described the port as "open and ready to expand."
- The tax exemption applies to a new energy corridor, liquefied natural gas facilities, Hudson Bay Railway upgrades, and ice-class ships, which new studies estimate would cost $100 million to $130 million.
- Accompanied by Finance Minister Adrien Sala and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses, Kinew is pitching projects totaling more than $85 billion to 250 global investors representing $13 trillion in assets.
- Year-Round shipping capabilities form the core of the strategy, with officials noting that commodities could reach Europe faster than via the Port of Vancouver, strengthening trade and creating jobs.
