Ontario businesses affected by recent public health measures can apply for provincial rebates on property taxes and energy costs.
The new benefit will cover up to half of the property taxes and energy costs of eligible businesses while they’re affected by restrictions that capped capacity in restaurants, salons and other indoor settings at 50 per cent.
The federal government is also expanding eligibility for its 300-dollar-per-week worker benefits program.
Instead of applying only to those who lost work due to lockdowns, it will now apply in regions where business capacity has been capped at 50 per cent to directly affected workers who’ve lost half or more of their income.
