McKinley details new creation r 9 Robert E. McKinley, M.P. issued a press release this week to constituents of the main points in the Employ­ ment Tax Credit Program that passed all stages in the House of Commons on Thursday, January 26. These are the main points: Two-year program es­ timated to cost $100 million a year in tax revenue. Program to begin by March 1, 1978, provided enabling legislation has been passed. Target of up to 50,000 new jobs in the first year. Eligible employment must involve an addition to the normal work force that would not have been made without the incentive of the tax credit. Tax credit will be $2 per employment hour in the four Atlantic Provinces and the Gaspe region of Quebec; $1.75 an hour in designated areas of Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, and $1.50 an hour in all other areas. Employers will enter into an agreement attesting that their employment proposals meet the program criteria. Agreement must be signed before March 31,1980. Jobs must be full-time and last for at least three months to be eligible for up to nine months of assistance. Employers must hire new staff from among persons referred to them by Canada Employment Centres. Persons referred will be selected from those who have beep out of work eight weeks or more. Employment that is already receiving assistance tied to job creation from other federal, provincial or municipal programs will not be eligible for the tax credit subsidy. The subsidy will not be given if the workers are related to the employer or a person in senior manage­ ment, or if they have worked for the employer in the previous eight weeks. No agreement will be ap­ proved if the hourly wage rate is less than the amount of the tax credit for the area involved. Tax credits may be used to offset federal income tax owing or held for up to five years against future federal income tax liabilities. An Employer’s Four Steps To A Tax Credit 1. An employer who decides to hire people under the Employment Tax Credit Program will first advise the nearest Canada Employ­ ment Centre of the proposed employment plan. (It must involve an addition to the normal work force that Hensall Co-op Crop Products would no. have been made without the Incentive of the tax credit.) 2. The Canada Employ­ ment Centre will refer per­ sons to the employer, selec­ ting those who have been out of work for eight weeks or more. Each will be given a special referral paper. 3. The employer will ad­ vise the Employment Centre of the names of the persons engaged and retain their referral papers. Then the employer will sign an agree­ ment form supplied by the Employment Centre and send it, along with the referral papers, to the regional office of the Canada Employment and Immigra­ tion Commision. 4. The agreement is returned to the employer with a special tax schedule on which the employer will make a tax credit claim at the appropriate time.
