Your real odds

This is a formula-based refundable tax credit, so if you meet the criteria and file correctly, you receive it regardless of what anyone else applies for.

Because it is refundable, you receive the credit even if your corporation owes no tax. The program expires January 1, 2027, meaning eligible expenditures must be incurred by December 31, 2026.

What it takes

Worth knowing

The credit applies only to expenditures above the $50,000 threshold and up to $500,000, which puts the maximum annual credit at $45,000 under the standard 10% rate, and a corporation anywhere in Ontario can claim it as long as the actual investment sits in a designated region.
