Since announcing the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS), the Federal Government has aligned this program closely with the existing framework of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). For both programs, applications are due 180 days after the end of the qualifying claim period. The chart below provides the claim period and application deadline for periods that are still open for application as of March of 2021. If you have any questions regarding eligibility or applying to any Federal Government COVID-19 Support Programs, please reach out to your Bateman MacKay Tax and Business Advisor.
On April 21, 2020, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced that it will now accept late requests to apply for or adjust previously claimed amounts for the CEWS and CERS.
