Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)

November 21, 2020

Value

Varies.

Description

As a Canadian employer who has seen a drop in revenue due to COVID-19, you may be eligible for a subsidy to cover part of your employee wages, retroactive to March 15. This subsidy will enable you to re-hire workers, help prevent further job losses, and ease you back into normal operations.

Eligible Applicants

1. Have had a CRA payroll account on March 15, 2020
Even if you didn’t have a payroll account on March 15, you may still qualify if:

  • you used a payroll service provider who made remittances on your behalf
  • you purchased all (or almost all) of another person’s or partnership’s business assets

2. Be one of the following types of employers

  • individuals
  • corporations (or trusts) that are not exempt from income tax (Part I of the Income Tax Act)
  • the following persons that are exempt from income tax (Part I of the Income Tax Act):
  • registered charities
  • partnerships consisting of eligible employers
  • the following prescribed organizations:
    • certain Indigenous government-owned corporations that carry on a business
    • partnerships consisting of eligible employers and certain Indigenous governments
    • registered Canadian amateur athletic associations
    • registered journalism organizations
    • private schools or private colleges, and
    • partnerships consisting of eligible employers (including partnerships where at least 50% of the interests in the partnership are held by eligible employers)

3. Have experienced a drop in revenue
Your drop in revenue is calculated by comparing your eligible revenue during the crisis with your eligible revenue from a previous period (baseline revenue).

Eligible Expenses

  • selling goods
  • rendering services, and
  • others’ use of your resources
