This is a reminder that the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy For Employers is separate from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS).  The subsidy is equal to 10% of the remuneration you pay from March 18 to June 19, up to $1,375 for each eligible employee to a maximum of $25,000 total per employer.  Churches and charities also qualify as eligible employers for this subsidy.

You do not need to officially apply for the subsidy because you simply reduce the tax portion of your monthly payroll deductions submitted to CRA by the amount you qualify for.  You must still remit the full amounts deducted for CPP and EI plus your share.  You also have the choice of not claiming the subsidy now but claiming it at the end of the year.

Information and instructions are available at Temporary Wage Subsidy For Employers.
