Your real odds

This is a structured tax credit, so if you meet the eligibility criteria, you receive it.

The $10M minimum capital expenditure threshold is the real barrier here, and it limits the program to larger-scale projects. It has been running since September 1, 2017 and appears to be ongoing.

What it takes

Submit Application for Conditional Approval before or during your projectVaries; do this early in the project planning stage

Complete investment and obtain third-party certification of increased productive capacityProject-dependent

Request Certificate of Eligibility from Ministry of Trade and Export DevelopmentAfter project completion

File CIT return with CRA, then submit annual SVAI Claim Form to Ministry of FinanceAnnually over 3–10 years

Worth knowing

The credit redeems on a fixed schedule across three to ten years, 20% in year one, 30% in year two, and 50% in year three, with any remaining amount carrying forward up to ten years, so your tax position in each of those years matters. Claiming SVAI leaves your eligibility for other Saskatchewan grants and tax incentives intact.
