The Community Economic Development Corporation tax credit program is offering a 30 percent tax credit to Albertans who invest in corporations registered with the program.

 The corporations will then provide capital and funding to small business and co-operatives that focus on social improvement or developing rural economies.

The tax credit will support:

  • Agriculture business or tourism operator developing new products for rural communities
  • Business owners offering training to employees with barriers
  • New owners carrying on the legacy of local-owned businesses when the previous owners retire
  • Businesses offering affordable food for lower-income families

Application information, as well as other information on the program, is located here.
