The federal government has announced that it will increase the wage subsidy promised in early March from 10% to 75%. Prime minister Justin Trudeau explained, “It’s becoming clear that we need to do more — much more — so we’re bringing that percentage up to 75 percent for qualifying businesses.” Canadian small businesses have been particularly affected by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With all non-essential businesses closed in the country’s two largest provinces, Ontario and Quebec, there is simply no revenue to continue to support their employees.
As this is breaking news and as the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic changes on a daily basis, we’ve put together the main points you need to know about the CEWS.
As more information is provided by Trudeau and his government, we will continue to update the information provided here. But for now, there are still some unanswered questions concerning the newly increased government subsidy for Canadian businesses.
Private corporations, taxable corporations, and partnerships who see a loss in revenue of at least 15% in March or 30% thereafter can apply for CEWS. The recent extension of the CEWS also extended the eligibility requirements. As a result, the following businesses can also apply for CEWS.
Municipalities, crown corporations, hospitals, public schools and other public bodies are not eligible for this subsidy.
Any employee that you have employed and have been paying for is eligible. However, any employee who has not received any pay for 14 or more days cannot be included for the subsidy. Rehired employees are also eligible for the CEWS, however, you will have to pay them yourself first before you can add them to the claim. To determine how much subsidy you qualify for, you must figure out the number of eligible employees you have and what their average pay has been from January 2020 to March 15, 2020.
There are two ways you can show your decline in revenue. One, you can compare your current month’s revenue to the same month last year. For example, you may compare your revenue in March 2020 in comparison to March 2019. You can also compare your current revenue to your average revenue in January and February 2020. Please check the table above for more details.
You can apply for the CEWS in three different ways. Eligible businesses can apply through the CRA’s my business account portal, individuals representing a business can apply using “Represent a Client” or you can apply by simply using a “Web Forms” application the government has set up.
When applying, you will have to provide proof of loss in revenue and remuneration paid to employees. Don’t forget, that you must send an application for each CEWS claim period you are applying for.
If your business has registered with a direct deposit with the CRA, then you can expect to receive your subsidy through direct deposit within 3 – 5 business days after your application has been approved. If you are not registered then you can receive your funds by cheque however, it will take a few more days before you receive it by mail.
The Government of Canada‘s 10% Wage Subsidy program will allow employers to “reduce the amount of payroll reduction required to be remitted to the CRA”. It is a 3-month long program, designed to provide temporary relief. It can be used in combination with the 75% CEWS, however, those that use the 10% wage subsidy benefit for a certain period, will be eligible for less CEWS for the same period.
As small and medium-sized businesses in Canada continue to deal with the economic effects of the pandemic, the increase in the wage subsidy is meant to help:
In addition to increasing the wage subsidy, Trudeau also announced that a new Canada Emergency Business Account would be created in order to provide loans to small and medium-sized businesses in Canada. Businesses will be able to qualify for loans up to $40,000, interest-free for the first year. Moreover, up to $10,000 may be forgiven under certain circumstances. Learn how to apply by clicking here. GST, HST and custom duty payments will be deferred till June in an effort to reduce the financial pressure many businesses are facing.
