Rebate: Tax and Tuition

rebate: The former NDP government introduced the 60 per cent tuition tax rebate in the 2007 with the goal of encouraging new graduates to stay and work in Manitoba, according to CBC. Students got up to 60 per cent of their tuition paid back to them over six years through tax rebates. The rebates, which cost the government millions in tax revenue, will be phased out gradually, a government source said. Students who graduated after 2007 and moved to Manitoba also were eligible for the rebate. Both rebates are on the chopping block, the source said.
