Canada Revenue Agency has updated the wording on the Temporary Wage Subsidy of 10% (maximum of $1375 per employee up to a total maximum of $25,000) to include more eligible employers including partnerships and individuals. If you don’t qualify for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy , which is the 75% wage subsidy, you can still claim the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy.
