The payroll rebate supports companies improving their competitiveness in export markets through innovation, productivity improvements or investments in product development, as well as companies locating or expanding in the province.
The payroll rebate is a return (usually between 5%-10%) on a company’s gross payroll taxes. The rebate amount depends on the economic benefit generated to the Province and is generally paid out annually over a term not exceeding five years.
To receive the rebate, you must create a targeted number of jobs, at a minimum determined salary, within a set timeframe, and must also demonstrate it is meeting set targets associated with the coinciding project, including expenditure targets. Payroll rebates are both project and performance-based, and promote employment creation in the province.
