Double Your Tax Credit

SaskWorks shares are eligible for rollover following the government-mandated eight year holding period. When you roll-over your mature shares, you are eligible to receive a second 32.5% tax credit on your original investment.

Three Ways to Invest

Lump Sum Contribution

SaskWorks accepts lump sum contributions of $500 or more. Tax credits may only be claimed on a maximum investment of $5,000 per year and cannot be carried forward. Contributions made during “RRSP season”, the first 60 days of the year, may be claimed against the current or previous year’s taxes.

Pre-authorized Contribution

SaskWorks’ pre-authorized debit plan allows you the flexibility to choose your contribution amount and deduction frequency which can be automatically deducted from your checking account on a regular basis.

Payroll Investment Plan

Take advantage of the 32.5% tax credit and RRSP tax deferral using SaskWorks’ Payroll Investment Plan. *Usually you would receive all these savings when you file your taxes. But with SaskWorks Venture Fund’s Payroll Investment Plan, you receive these savings each payday. Click here to learn more.
