Manitoba moves to eliminate 6% levy on cannabis retailers, replace it with new tax regime

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manito... New fee designed so retailers could help bear costs of education, safety, health and addiction Manitoba is looking to eliminate a tax on cannabis retailers and replace it with what the finance minister calls a "new taxation regime." The provincial government introduced new legislation on Monday that would eliminate the social responsibility fee — a six per cent levy the province slapped on retailers to cover the province's "social costs" of legalizing the drug. The need for such a fee has lessened over time, Finance Minister Cameron Friesen said while tabling the bill. "After four years of legalization, the cannabis market is maturing, the regulatory costs to the province is well-known," Friesen said. If passed, the levy would be eliminated as of Jan. 1, 2023. The bill does not specify what sort of tax could be developed as a result. Manitoba, however, is the only jurisdiction in Canada that does not currently collect a provincial tax on the sale of recreational cannabis. Consumers do pay a federal tax.
