Tax Credit for the 2013 Tax Year Open to Alberta Canola Producers

Mar 05, 2014

Canola growers in Alberta that do not request a refund of their check off from the Alberta Canola Producers Commission (ACPC) qualify for a tax credit for the 2013 tax year.

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit allows canola growers to claim the tax credit for that portion of the check off paid that was used to fund qualifying research.

The rate for Alberta canola producers in 2013 is 19.47 percent. For example, for an individual grower that paid $100.00 in check off to the ACPC in 2013, $19.47 is eligible to earn the tax credit.

The tax credit can:

offset federal taxes owing in the current year,
be received as a tax refund,
be carried forward up to 10 years to offset federal taxes owing, or
be carried back 3 years to reduce federal taxes paid in those years.
Individual producers must file a T2038 (IND). Farm corporations must file form T2SCH31.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
