Government Relief Program - Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS):

You, as a Canadian employer who has seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic, may be eligible for a subsidy to cover part of your employee wages, retroactive to March 15, 2020. For periods 1 to 4, which is not available anymore, you had to show that your eligible revenue dropped by a minimum amount to qualify for the subsidy and, if you met the minimum revenue drop, the subsidy calculation used a fixed rate of 75%. For claim periods 5 and later (claims that cover July 5, 2020, and later), there is no minimum revenue drop required to qualify for the subsidy. The rate your revenue has dropped is only used to calculate how much subsidy you receive for these periods. Eligible revenue generally includes revenue earned in Canada from selling goods, rendering services, and others' use of your resources. Generally, your accountant should use your normal accounting method when calculating your eligible revenue. If your normal accounting method is the accrual method, you can elect to use the cash method (and vice versa), but once you choose, you must use the same accounting method for all your claims.
