Health Spending Account for Manitoba Businesses

Manitoba business owners can significantly reduce their health costs with a Health Spending Account. With a combined marginal tax rate of up to 50.4%, Manitoba entrepreneurs save substantially by using pre-tax corporate dollars for medical expenses instead of after-tax personal income.

Why Manitoba Businesses Choose HSAs

Traditional health insurance in Manitoba is expensive and inflexible:

  • Annual premiums of $3,000-$8,000+ per person
  • Restrictive coverage with deductibles and co-pays
  • Use-it-or-lose-it policies
  • Annual increases regardless of claims

With a Frontier Health Spending Account:

  • No premiums - Pay only when you have expenses
  • 100% tax-deductible for your corporation
  • Tax-free reimbursements for you and your family
  • Flexible coverage for dental, vision, prescriptions, therapy, and more

Tax Savings for Manitoba Business Owners

Based on Manitoba's combined marginal tax rate of 50.4%:

  • $5,000 in expenses saves you approximately $5,081
  • $10,000 in expenses saves you approximately $10,161

This means for every dollar you spend on health expenses through your HSA, you save 50.4 cents compared to paying with after-tax personal income.

  • Incorporated business owners (sole proprietors are NOT eligible)
