CEDIFs:

Most of the community WindFields are registered CEDIFs and are RRSP eligible. CEDIFs (Community Economic Development Investment Funds) , are an initiative of the Nova Scotian Department of Economic Development. Investors in all CEDIFs are eligible for a 35% NS tax credit in year 1, as well as a potential 20% NS tax credit in year 6 and 10% in year  11. Many Nova Scotian investors have already received a NS tax credit (recently in creased from 30% to 35%) by investing in a CEDIF corporation.    Please note that if you do not pay provincial taxes in NS then you can not qualify for the NS provincial tax credits.

 

 RRSP eligibility:

All WindFields that are CEDIFs are also RRSP eligible. In order to hold these investments as an RRSP the investor is required to set up a special self directed RRSP account . Each WindField offers interested investors assistance in setting up a self directed RRSP.
