Bill C-9 amends the Income Tax Act to expand and extend the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) until June 30, 2021, and introduces the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) effective September 27, 2020, to support businesses, charities, and not-for-profit organizations affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bill C-9 makes changes to the Income Tax Act to provide financial support to Canadian businesses, charities, and not-for-profit organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill has two main parts: 1. **Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)**: The bill revises how the wage subsidy works and extends it until June 30, 2021. It changes the eligibility rules for employees, adjusts the subsidy rates based on how much a business's revenue has dropped, and makes it easier for certain businesses to qualify.

This program provides financial assistance to eligible businesses, charities, and not-for-profit organizations to help them pay: - Rent for commercial properties they use in their operations - Interest on debt (like mortgages) used to buy real property for their business - In some cases, property taxes and insurance The bill sets out eligibility criteria (including maximum rent amounts of $75,000 per property), how subsidy amounts are calculated (ranging from 0% to 65% of rent or interest expenses depending on revenue loss), and extra support for businesses affected by public health restrictions like lockdowns. The bill also allows the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to share tax information with provincial governments for administering their own rent assistance programs during COVID-19, and includes anti-avoidance rules to prevent businesses from artificially reducing their revenues to claim higher subsidies.
