Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit
- The 2004 Ontario Budget announced a new refundable
tax credit for corporations and unincorporated businesses employing
apprentices in certain skilled trades during the first 36 months
of an apprenticeship program. This measure became law on December
16, 2004, when legislative amendments to the Corporations Tax
Act and the Income Tax Act (Ontario) received Royal Assent.
- The apprenticeship training tax credit reimburses
corporations and unincorporated businesses 25 per cent of eligible
expenditures paid or payable after May 18, 2004 and before January
1, 2011, up to a maximum tax credit of $5,000 per qualifying apprentice
per taxation year. For corporations and unincorporated businesses
that have total salaries and wages for the previous taxation year
of $400,000 or less, the rate of the tax credit is increased to
30 per cent.
