In most provinces, this limit is $500 000, but it varies based on the company’s revenue and number of days it is active. It is designed to help small businesses meet their tax obligations while providing benefits to larger corporations.
In Saskatchewan, the small business tax rate is currently 2%. However, this will increase to 1% on July 1, 2022, and will be back at 2% on July 1, 2023. In the meantime, the provincial government is considering a measure to reduce the small business corporate income tax rate.

Non-eligible dividend gross-up rate
If you receive an income dividend from a Canadian-controlled private corporation, you may be wondering whether you should designate it as an eligible or taxable dividend.

However, the tax you pay is offset by the Dividend Tax Credit, which allows you to offset the gross-up rate for dividends. If you receive an eligible dividend, your income is taxable under Part III.1. You must calculate your LRIP when you pay the dividend.

For example, a mining corporation can claim a tax reduction of up to two percentage points if they invest in processing plants and manufacturing. Another type of credit allows corporations to claim up to six percent of their capital costs in manufacturing and processing.
In addition, resource corporations that manufacture and sell products in the province can also benefit from a point of sale tax rebate on furnace oil. The province also rebates the provincial portion of the HST (10%) for the sale of these products. In addition, there are also several exemptions for certain types of retail sales.

The Saskatchewan government has failed to eliminate its historical barriers to economic growth. This is reflected in its relatively high capital tax and its labor regulations. As a result, the province is not a mecca for capital. However, it could change if the government is willing to make some bold moves. For example, it could reduce the corporate tax rate for Crown corporations to 10% or less. A low tax rate would encourage investors to relocate their operations to Saskatchewan. It would also help to eliminate special preferences such as royalty systems that favor some companies over others.

This reduction will be effective on the first CAD 500,000 of active business income of a CCPC. This will result in a 9% rate for active business income and a 28% rate for investment income.
