Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit

1. 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.
   
   
2. 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.
