Business Incentive Program
Under the Business Incentive Policies, the Government of Yukon provides rebates to contractors working on eligible government contracts as incentive to hire Yukon residents and to use Yukon manufactured products when delivering contract requirements.
GOVERNMENT OF YUKON CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Under the Yukon Business Incentive Policy for Construction the following rebates are available:
Yukon Labour: General contractors and subcontractors are eligible for rebates when they hire a minimum of 80% Yukon labour on eligible Government of Yukon construction contracts. Labour rebates are eligible only on those contracts where the initial award value is $100,000 or more.
Yukon Apprentices and Yukon Youth: In addition to the labour rebate, there are also rebates available for hiring registered Yukon apprentices and Yukon youth on eligible construction contracts of any value.
Yukon Manufactured Materials: Manufacturers of Yukon products may be eligible to claim rebates for materials they produce that are incorporated into eligible Government of Yukon construction contracts. To qualify, the materials must be included on the Rebate Schedule for construction.
GOODS AND SERVICES PURCHASED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF YUKON
Under the Yukon Business Incentive Policy for Goods and Services rebates are available for:
Yukon Manufactured Products: Rebates are available to those manufacturers that produce and sell directly to the Government of Yukon. The products must be listed on the Rebate Schedule to be eligible for rebates.
The Yukon government has a decentralized contracting system. Advice and support is provided by the Contract Services section but individual departments are accountable for developing specifications, evaluating bids, awarding and managing service contracts.
Applications to have your products added to the Rebate Schedule can be made to the Business Incentive Office.
