Manitoba's second city, at a provincial rate of zero
Brandon is Manitoba's second largest city, with 51,313 people in 2021, up 5% in five years. Statistics Canada's latest count found 1,932 businesses with employees, led by retail (268), health care (231) and construction (211).
Manitoba's small business rate is 0%, so on the first $500,000 of active business income a Canadian controlled private corporation earns, the only tax is the federal 9%. That makes profit unusually cheap to keep inside a Brandon company, and it changes the arithmetic of how much the owner should draw each year. HBT works from Calgary and handles Brandon files remotely.

Common question
How much tax does a Brandon corporation pay on its first $500,000 of profit?
9%, all of it federal, on active business income up to $500,000, because Manitoba's small business rate is 0%. Above that the combined general rate is 27%. The saving stays in the corporation; dividends paid out to the owner are taxed again on the personal return.
