Government programs for business during COVID-19

4/1/2020

 
​There are a number of programs being built and implemented with lightning speed in order to help residents and business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanks to our member Cody & James CPAs for pulling together a chart that breaks down each program. This resource is posted on our website:

This will be a high-level overview of the programs and we encourage you to check out the above website as all programs for the federal, provincial, and municipal governments can be found through the COVID-19 Business Resource Portal.

Deferred Items:
  • Federal individual tax filing due date
  • Federal tax payments
  • Federal tax instalment payments
  • GST/HST Instalment payments
  • Employer Health Tax (also an expense reduction)
  • WSIB premiums
  • Municipal property taxes (City of Peterborough & Township of Selwyn)
  • Canada Student Loan repayments

Expense Reduction Items:
  • Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy
  • Employer Health Tax (also a deferred item)
  • EI Work-Sharing Program

Loans:
  • Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) (also a partial grant)

Replacement Income Items:
  • Employment Insurance (EI)
  • Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)

Tax-Free Benefit Items:

  • Canada Child Benefit (CCB)

A resource created by Chamber member Matthew Savino and his team at Savino Human Resources Partners is also extremely helpful.

The flowchart  is designed to help people navigate Employment Insurance and the Canada Emergency Response Benefit.
