BC Small Business Venture Capital Tax Credit
Funds BC Small Business Venture Capital Tax Credit for practical innovation and measurable results.
The BC Small Business Venture Capital Tax Credit gives investors a 30% provincial tax credit on equity investments in registered BC Eligible Business Corporations (EBCs) or through Venture Capital Corporations (VCCs). Budget 2025 raised the annual tax credit budget from $38.5M to $53.5M and lifted the maximum individual credit from $120,000 to $300,000 (for investments of $1M+ made on or after March 4, 2025). The program is rolling and continuous — businesses must first register and obtain an 'equity authorization' through the eTCA system before raising tax-credit-supported investment. Administered by the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development & Innovation.
