New Brunswick

Labour rebate through the Multimedia Initiative

New Brunswick runs a discretionary rebate on New Brunswick labour rather than a legislated tax credit. Funding is allocated per intake, so confirm availability before locking a budget.

Administered by Opportunities NB / NB Multimedia Initiative
