Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit Declaration Form

Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit

The Government of Manitoba introduced the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) of up to $1,600 on the education portion of principal residences property tax in 2026.

If you received the Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit (HATC) in 2025 and there has been no change in ownership of your property, you will automatically receive the HATC on your tax bill and no action is required. 

If the credit does not appear on your property tax statement, you may still claim it when filing your personal income tax return, if you are eligible.
