Manitoba Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit

Also known as: Green Energy Equipment Tax Credit

Refundable Manitoba tax credit on qualifying green-energy equipment installed for use in Manitoba, claimed through the income tax system (T1/T2/T3). Geothermal heat-pump systems: 7.5% on Manitoba-made heat pumps plus 15% on the rest of the system's capital cost when installed by a Manitoba Geothermal Energy Alliance–certified installer (and a further 7.5% to Manitoba manufacturers on heat pumps made and sold for use in Manitoba). Solar thermal energy systems: a refundable 10% credit on eligible capital costs. Biomass fuel energy equipment installed in Manitoba and used in a business: 15%. Equipment must be new; government assistance received reduces the amount claimable.
