10% Temporary wage subsidy for employers
The Government announced a 10% temporary wage subsidy for employers for a period of 3 months. Eligible employers who pay salary, wages, or taxable benefits to employees, between March 18, 2020 and June 19, 2020, can reduce payroll remittances of federal, provincial, or territorial income tax by 10%.

Deferral of GST/HST Remittances
The CRA will allow all businesses to defer, until the end of June 2020, any GST/HST payments or remittances that become owing on or after March 27, 2020, and before June 2020. This means that no interest will apply if your payments or remittances are made by the end of June 2020.
