Saskatchewan's 2017 Budget announced that the dividend tax rate as a percentage of the taxable dividend would be reduced in 1/4 point increments each year from 2017 to 2020.  However, this was revised with their November 6, 2017 Bill 84, which received Royal Assent on November 7, 2017, which revised the 2018 rate from 38.132% of the gross-up (10.5% of the taxable dividend) to 39.95%, or 11% of the taxable dividend, for 2018 and subsequent taxation years.

Saskatchewan Dividend Tax Credit for Non-eligible Dividends

SK Income Tax Act 2000 s. 32

Saskatchewan's Bill 89, The Income Tax (Affordability) Amendment Act, 2022, which was tabled on November 2, 2022, delayed the increases in the non-eligible dividend tax credit by 1 year. It is increased in each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 as shown below. It's possible that the 2024 Budget extending of the 1% small business corporate income tax rate by 1 year may delay the increase of the dividend tax credit by 1 year also, to 2026. If so, this table will be updated when a Bill is available with the details.
