Saskatchewan tax credit for businesses making large capital investments in new or expanded value-added agriculture facilities. The credit starts at 15 percent on capital expenditures of $10 million or more, rising for very large projects. It is claimed over three years after a certificate of eligibility is issued, with carry-forward up to 10 years.
You claim this on your tax return, so the money comes back as a lower tax bill or a refund after you file. If you missed it in a past year, you can often still recover it by adjusting a prior return.
