Nova Scotia Venture Capital Tax Credit T224

Complete this form to calculate your Nova Scotia venture capital tax credit. This credit can be used to reduce your Nova Scotia tax payable.

You can claim this credit for eligible investments made in a qualifying venture capital fund that you acquired in 2023 (that you did not claim on your 2022 return) or in the first 60 days of 2024. The maximum annual eligible investment is $500,000.

The credit is equal to 15% of eligible investments.

You can carry forward your unused credits for seven years or carry them back three years. To carry back your unused credits to prior tax years, send an adjustment request to the Canada Revenue Agency after you receive your 2023 notice of assessment.
