Fitness Tax Credit

Starting in 2011, Manitoba's Fitness Tax Credit will allow claims for fitness activities by children under 16 and young adults ages 16 through 24. The cost of eligible fitness activities up to $500, as defined under the federal legislation, can be claimed by the young adult, or by a spouse or parent. Young adults with a disability, on whose behalf at least $100 is spent for qualifying fitness activities, will be eligible for an additional $54 credit for a maximum credit of $108 - mirroring the treatment of children with a disability. The credits reduce Manitoba income tax otherwise payable in the tax year.
