The company has the potential to create up to a maximum of 30 jobs under the five-year payroll rebate agreement. Based on the maximum growth forecast of the agreement, NSBI estimates the company could spend $5,580,000 in salaries. It is also estimated the new employees would contribute provincial tax revenues of $627,000 through their income and consumption taxes. As a result, the company would earn a rebate up to $369,000 over five years. Opus Fund Services (Canada) Limited would be eligible for a smaller rebate if it creates fewer than 30 jobs. VistaCare Communications is a full-service provider and administrator of commercial communications and building security systems and has the potential to create up to a maximum of 100 jobs under the five-year payroll rebate agreement.

Quick facts: -- payroll rebates are designed in a way that the tax revenue generated for the province by the new jobs in Nova Scotia is always more than the amount of the rebate -- payroll rebates are only paid after a business has generated actual payroll for the Nova Scotia economy -- for every dollar a company spends on the new jobs it receives between five and 10 cents back -- when a company submits an annual rebate claim, it must send NSBI audited information that confirms the number of jobs it created that year -- payroll rebates are paid through the Strategic Investment Fund Information on NSBI transactions can be found at http://www.novascotiabusiness.com/fundingdisclosures .
