Alberta's Venture Capital Tax Credit discussed

The Alberta Government has introduced the Alberta Investor Tax Credit (AITC) in order to stimulate investment in certain industries with strong job-creation potential. The AITC offers a 30% tax credit to investors who provide venture capital to eligible companies during the two-year period in which the AITC program is in force. It is offered on a first come, first served basis. The program will start accepting applications on January 16.
