    Alberta

    • AT1 Schedule 3 - Alberta Other Tax Deductions and Credits

      Starting in 2017, the following two new tax credits have been introduced by the Alberta government.

      The Alberta investor tax credit (AITC) offers a 30% tax credit for investments made in eligible Alberta businesses by corporations. The AITC is available for investments in "non-traditional" sectors of Alberta's economy. In particular, it is aimed at small Alberta businesses substantially engaged (at least 50% of the business activities) in eligible business activities such as tourism activities, research, development and commercialization of proprietary technologies, development of interactive digital media in Alberta and post-production, visual effects and digital animation.

      The Alberta capital investment tax credit (CITC) provides a non-refundable tax credit valued at 10 per cent of a corporation's eligible capital expenditures, up to $5 million per year. The CITC encourages companies to make timely investments by returning a percentage of the company's capital costs on expenditures such as the purchase of machinery, equipment and buildings.

      The new keyword group Alb-TaxCr has been implemented in the program to allow users to claim these new credits.

      Please note the new Alberta Schedule 3 is supported by the program for Efile purposes and can be transmitted electronically.
