  • Extra-Provincial Vendors of Taxable Insurance Contracts
    NOTICE The Retail Sales Tax Act Issued August 2012 EXTRA-PROVINCIAL VENDORS OF TAXABLE INSURANCE CONTRACTS The 2012 Manitoba Budget announced that effective July 15, 2012 retail sales tax (RST) will apply on certain insurance contracts. Information Bulletin No. 061 – Insurance (available at the web-site listed below) outlines the taxable and exempt coverage types. All insurance companies and brokers that invoice for insurance contracts covering taxable risks in Manitoba are required to be registered with Manitoba Finance, Taxation Division to collect and remit RST - including those located outside Manitoba. When an insurance contract covers risks related to more than one province (or other jurisdiction), the fair value of the risk that relates to Manitoba must be separately stated on the customer billing, with Manitoba RST applied. The fair value of the risk should be apportioned amongst jurisdictions on the basis that is the most reasonable in the circumstances, such as: - the insured value of property in Manitoba as a percentage of the total value of the property insured in all jurisdictions; - an allocation by revenue per jurisdiction for business interruption insurance; - for goods in transit, the percentage of travel in Manitoba in comparison with the total amount travelled; (for trucking firms, the amount declared as their Manitoba prorate percentage for the International Registration Plan should be used). To register, businesses are encouraged to use the Taxation Division’s online service at manitoba.ca/TAXcess. Application forms

  • Main Estimates Supplement 2021-2022 | Manitoba Health and Seniors Care
    Budget 2021 Main Estimates Supplement Budgets complémentaires 2021/22 MANITOBA HEALTH SANTÉ ET SOINS AND SENIORS CARE AUX PERSONNES ÂGÉES MANITOBA MAIN ESTIMATES BUDGET SUPPLEMENT COMPLÉMENTAIRE 2021-2022 2021-2022 Department of Ministère de la Health and Seniors Care Santé et des Soins aux personnes âgées Minister’s Message and Executive Summary This document has been produced by Manitoba Health and Seniors Care as a supplement to the Printed Estimates of Expenditure. It is intended to provide background information on the department and complements the information already contained in the Printed Estimates of Expenditure. The contents of this document are organized into five parts. The first part provides an overview of the ministry including its strategy roadmap, strategic priorities, objectives and initiatives. The second part provides financial information on staffing and expenditures. The third part provides information on the amount of money the department requires, the spending and allocation plan, and how expenses will flow throughout the fiscal year. The fourth part provides a risk analysis overview. The fifth part provides the statutory responsibilities of the minister and a standard glossary of terms. Recently implemented across the Manitoba government, balanced scorecards foster operational improvements by reinforcing transparency, urgency, alignment and accountability. They have been added to the redesigned Supplement to identify key priorities for each department that staff will work towards, with appropriate performance measures. With the Supplement redesigned to be a business plan that focuses on strategic priorities, departments can then take steps to create operating plans that further identify how strategic priorities will translate into day-to-day operations.

  • Manitoba EIA Health Benefits Summary
    Manitoba EIA Health Benefits Summary The Manitoba EIA program is a “program of last resort” for about 62,000 Manitoban’s who do not have any other financial support or income. Many of these individuals have disabilities and high health care needs. The program has a living allowance, rental allowance called Rent Assist, as well as disability benefit for those that qualify. All EIA recipients all qualify for health care coverage and benefits. This chart is a summary of those health benefits as well as commentary on the gaps between these benefits and the true costs for health care. This chart was created recognizing poverty as a determinant of health with the knowledge that the EIA program incomes are far below all poverty measures of income to meet basic needs. The poverty and limited health coverage for people relying on EIA contributes to health in equities and adds costs to government in other areas. “Injustice will not be destroyed until those who are not affected by it are as outraged as though who are” – Unknown “While explaining our project, the recipient started to laugh. In response to the project description he said, “I apologize, I am just jaded to being optimistic for positive change in this system”. The reason being, people just do not care about poor people - not politicians, not middle class” – EIA Recipient Benefit Coverage Comment Recommendations Personal Experience Health Services Yes 3 month waiting period for Disabled & Single Parents A health manager recommends that EIA policy “I do not think it is appropriate to make people wait so long for their Program: 6 months for General Assistance (GA) for Dental and should allow third party referrals for people who needs” - EIA Recipient Waiting periods Optical coverage cannot apply on their own.
