New Brunswick's Labour Sponsored Venture Capital Corporation (LSVCC) program has been enhanced. The provincial LSVCC tax credit has increased from 15% to 20% and the maximum annual qualifying investment amount has increased from CAD5,000 to CAD10,000, effective as of March 17, 2009. New Brunswick investors may now receive federal and provincial tax credits totalling CAD2,750 on a CAD10,000 investment.

"We believe these tax incentives will allow the GrowthWorks Atlantic Venture Fund to raise more capital for investment in promising New Brunswick businesses," said Tom Hayes, President and CEO of GrowthWorks Atlantic Venture Fund.
