Tax Credit Programs

Effective May 21, 2025, Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) eligibility has been extended to November 15, 2025 for the 2025 tax year. Learn more about the 2025 HATC and how to declare your principal residence.

Manitoba Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC)

The Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC), commencing in 2025, is a Provincial Tax Credit for homeowners provided to offset school taxes for homeowners - payable in Manitoba.

The Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit Advance is where the HATC is applied directly to the municipal property tax statement for homeowners.

Calculation

The lesser of the property owner’s school taxes for the taxation year and $1500. 

HATC Advance and HATC Self-Declaration

The Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit Advance can only be claimed on a homeowner’s principal residence, and only one person can claim the residence per taxation year. In order to qualify for the HATC Advance on your taxes:

  1. The taxpayer must own the property and be their principal residence
  2. The property must be assessed as a single residential dwelling
  3. The homeowner cannot be receiving the credit on another home elsewhere in the Province
  4. Ownership has not changed since the 2025 Tax Notice was issued

2025 Transitional Process

As the HATC follows similar rules to the previous Education Property Tax Credit (EPTC), which also required self-declaration of principal residence, the declarations filed for the EPTC program have been carried forward and used for the HATC.

If you have not received the HATC on your current year’s property tax bill, the Province has approved an adjustment period for 2025 until November 15, 2025. Any eligible homeowners that do not receive an adjustment during the adjustment period can claim the tax credit for the current year on your income tax return.

The following steps should be followed if you did not receive the HATC and feel you are eligible:

Step 1: Confirm whether you received the tax credit on your property tax bill.
Sample of the School Tax section of the tax bill that did receive the HATC
Sample of the School Tax section of the tax bill that did receive the HATC
Sample of the School Tax section of the tax bill that did receive the HATC
Sample of the School Tax section of the tax bill that did not receive the HATC

If your property did not receive the HATC, move to Step 2. Otherwise no further action is required.

Step 2: Confirm the property type is Residential.
Step 3: Download, and complete the Self-Declaration form
Step 4: Upload the completed form

Or submit to the Assessment and Taxation Department via one of the alternate methods below.

Adjustments to tax accounts will be made upon receipt of a valid self-declaration form, if that property is eligible. Once an adjustment to the tax account has been processed for the HATC a statement will be mailed to the home owner. Please note adjustments may take time to process depending on the volume received.

If the property is enrolled in the Tax Installment Payment Plan, monthly payments will be adjusted once the eligibility is confirmed. Payments will otherwise continue as scheduled. Please refer to the Important Messages of your 2025 Realty Tax Notice to locate the July TIPP amount.

You are encouraged to pay the full outstanding balance indicated on your 2025 Realty Tax notice before the payment due date in order to protect yourself from the possibility of penalty accrual, per the Tax Penalty By-Law. The HATC criteria will need to be verified before the credit is applied to the property taxes.
