Corporation Capital Tax (CCT) is imposed on financial institutions and commercial Crown corporations which have paid-up capital in excess of $10 million. An additional exemption of $10 million is available based upon the proportion of total salaries and wages that are paid in Saskatchewan by a taxable corporation divided by the salaries and wages of the corporation and all its associated corporations.
In addition, large resource corporations are subject to a Resource Surcharge on the value of resource sales of oil, natural gas, potash, uranium, and coal in Saskatchewan.
