Manitoba Labour-Sponsored Venture Capital Tax Credit

Did you purchase approved shares from a labour-sponsored venture capital (LSVC) corporation in 2016 or within the first 60 days of 2017? If you did, you might be able to claim the Manitoba labour-sponsored venture capital tax credit.

With this non-refundable tax credit, you can claim up to $1,800 of your investments made in all LSVC corporations to reduce your provincial tax payable. The corporation you’ve invested in will issue you a T2C (MAN.) slip indicating the credit amount you can claim.

If you choose to print and mail in your return, make sure you include your T2C (MAN.) slip. If you’re filing your return electronically, keep your T2C (MAN.) slip with your records in case the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) asks to see it later.

For more information on the Manitoba labour-sponsored venture capital tax credit, visit the CRA website.
