Apprenticeship federal tool tax credit

• Effective January 1, 2002, apprentices in the motive power trades will be able to deduct the costs of their tools from their income tax.

• The cost of tools required by apprentices in order to work has been viewed as a serious barrier to attracting more apprentices into the automotive repair industries.

• The Minister announced that the tax relief is in the form of a tax deduction versus a tax credit. All tools purchased in a tax return year will be eligible, less a deduction of the greater of $1,000 and 5% of an individual's apprenticeship income for the year.

Apprenticeship federal tool tax credit (con’t)

• Apprenticeship tool loans, such as Ontario's $800 interest-free loan for the purchase of an apprentice's tools, will not affect the credit.

• Any part of the eligible deduction not taken in the year the tools are purchased can be carried forward and deducted in subsequent taxation years. The individual will also be eligible for a rebate of the goods and services tax/harmonized tax paid on the portion of the purchase price that is deducted in calculating employment income.

• The apprentice's employer will need to certify that the tools are required as a condition of, and for use in, the apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship federal tool tax credit (con’t)

• The following has been provided by the government as a sample tool tax deduction example:

• Alexandra, an Autobody technician apprentice earns $25,000 as an apprentice in a year and spends $5,000 on new tools in the year. Alexandra's deduction is $3,750 ($5,000-$1,250 (the greater of $1,000 and 5% of $25,000)), representing a federal income tax savings of $600

New apprenticeship proposals from Ontario

• Ontario has announced a new proposal, not yet introduced, called the Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit. Corporations and un-incorporated businesses would be eligible for a 25 per cent refundable tax credit on eligible expenditures incurred with respect to eligible apprentices. For business with total payroll costs exceeding $400,000, the tax credit rate would be increased to 30%.

New apprenticeship proposals from Ontario (con’t)

• An employer would be eligible for a tax credit of up to $5,000 per year per eligible apprentice to a maximum of $15,000 over the first 36 months of the apprenticeship.

• The maximum annual tax credit of $5,000 would be pro-rated for the number of days the apprentice is employed with that employer during the year.

New apprenticeship proposals from Ontario (con’t)

• Eligible apprentices would be in their first 36 months of an apprenticeship training program in the auto body and collision damage repairer trade on or after May 19, 2004 and have commenced employment before January 1, 2008. Eligible expenditures would be salaries and wags paid after May 18, 2004 and before January 1, 2011 to an eligible apprentice.
