Your carrier profile provides an overview of your safety performance rating, using the Carrier Profile System (CPS). CPS uses your National Safety Code (NSC) number, which is shown on your truck and trailer registrations, to track all convictions, inspections and accidents incurred by anyone driving your regulated vehicle(s) in the last 24 month period.

The following information is collected from across North America. However, only incidents occurring in Canada are applied to your carrier profile and used in the calculation of the performance thresholds

Convictions: Convictions against both carriers and drivers, including moving violations, load securement violations, and unsafe vehicle equipment violations are assessed on the carrier profile. The same violation carries the same number of points no matter where the violation happened in Canada.

On-Road Vehicle Inspections: The results of Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspections, are recorded on the carrier profile. Points are assessed if your driver or vehicle is placed out of service.

Accidents: All reportable accidents in any Canadian jurisdiction are recorded on the carrier profile. Points are assessed for at-fault accidents resulting in property damage, injury or fatality. No points are assessed if the driver of your NSC vehicle is not found at fault.

The carrier profile system is designed to identify higher risk carriers and to assist carriers in monitoring their own safety performance. This is accomplished by using the information on the carrier profile to calculate performance scores. When a performance score exceeds defined thresholds the department intervenes with the carrier to improve safety.

Employer Services is committed to ensuring that Manitoba's trucking industry remains safe and is able to recruit qualified international truck drivers*, legally and ethically, when drivers cannot be recruited locally.

All Manitoba trucking companies are required to apply to the federal Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process to recruit international truck drivers as Temporary Foreign Workers if they have not been successful in recruiting drivers from within Canada.

Employer Services may consider requests from Manitoba trucking companies to recruit a specific number of qualified truck drivers under the MPNP Employer Direct Pathway providing that these companies are able to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Employer Services and the MPNP, that they are able to meet all of the requirements indicated in the guidelines below.

Ewald Friesen, community and government relations manager at CAA Manitoba, commented: The data shows us that there is a significant number of impaired drivers under the influence of edible cannabis, which poses a great risk to road safety.

In terms of educating cannabis users, more than half (64%) of the respondents agreed that cannabis-impaired driving is the most important public education topic related to cannabis. Additionally, 89% believe that driving under the influence of cannabis is a serious risk to road safety.

Citing information from Manitoba Public Insurance, CAA pointed out that penalties can include licence suspension, vehicle impoundment, mandatory Impaired Driver Assessment, and potential charges under the Criminal Code of Canada.

As a GST/HST registrant, you usually have to collect the GST/HST on amounts you charge for taxable supplies of property and services. However, in the case of a passenger transportation service supplied by a taxi operator or a commercial ride-sharing driver, tax is usually already included in the fares. For more information, see How to calculate the GST/HST included in a fare.

As a GST/HST registrant, you can generally claim input tax credits (ITCs) to recover the GST/HST paid or payable on your business purchases such as gas, car repairs, and car washes. You have to keep records of the amounts you pay or owe to support your ITC claims. For more information, see Input tax credits.

If you are a self-employed taxi operator or commercial ride-sharing driver who supplies taxable passenger transportation services, you must register for a GST/HST account even if you are a small supplier.

The GST/HST is usually included in the fares for a passenger transportation service supplied by a taxi operator or commercial ride-sharing driver. For that reason, you may have to calculate the amount of GST/HST included in the fares.

If you use the regular method, you total the GST/HST you charged or collected and deduct your ITCs from this amount. The difference between these two amounts, including any adjustments, is your net tax. If you charged or collected more GST/HST than was paid or payable by you on your business purchases, you send the CRA the difference. If you charged or collected less GST/HST than was paid or payable by you, you can claim a refund.

The quick method is another method for calculating the net tax. You can use this method if your annual taxable sales, including those of your associates, are $400,000 or less (including GST/HST and zero-rated supplies) in any four consecutive fiscal quarters over the last five fiscal quarters. You can start or stop using the quick method at the beginning of any reporting period by submitting Form GST74, Election and Revocation of an Election to use the Quick Method of Accounting.

Please be aware that when moving from Manotiba and taking a vehicle with you to Alberta, you must obtain Alberta insurance and registration as well as an Alberta driver's license within 90 days of moving to the province, even if you travel outside of Alberta during those 90 days. Your Manitoba personal injury protection plan coverage only covers you for as long as you can legally retain your Manitoba registration and insurance (and only while you're in the Manitoba plated vehicle), so you should take steps to switch over insurance and registration as soon as possible.
