Aerospace and Defence Tax Rebate

There are over 900 employees in the aerospace industry across Prince Edward Island - the majority of these jobs are at Slemon Park.

Slemon Park is a 1,500 acre business park located just outside of Summerside, Prince Edward Island. This includes an airport with two runways and many well-maintained hangars ranging in size from 25,000 to 300,000 square feet. Slemon Park also has on-site recreational facilities, a hotel, and a restaurant.

A tax rebate incentive for aerospace and defence-related companies offers a full yearly rebate on all corporate income tax paid to the province of Prince Edward Island.
