British Columbia Training Tax Credit (Employers)
Protected B when completed

2023
 
Complete this form to calculate your British Columbia training tax credit for employers. If you are completing the tax return for a corporation,
use T2 Schedule 428, British Columbia Training Tax Credit.
 
For 2013 and later tax years, shipbuilding and ship repair industry employers who claim the British Columbia shipbuilding and ship repair
industry tax credit on Form T1014-2 cannot claim the British Columbia training tax credit.
 
You can claim this credit if you were a resident of British Columbia at the end of the year and you met both of the following conditions:
You carried on a business in British Columbia at any time in the year
You employed a person who was registered in an eligible program administered through SkilledTradesBC at any time in the year
   
 
Eligible programs and completion requirements are defined by Regulation. For more information,
go to www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/income-taxes/corporate/credits/training or call 1-877-387-3332.
 
There are three elements to the training tax credit:
Basic tax credit for an eligible recognized program (non-Red Seal) (read Part 2 of the worksheet on the next page)
Completion tax credit for an eligible training program (Red Seal and non-Red Seal) (read Part 3 of the worksheet on the next page)
Enhanced tax credit for First Nations individuals and persons with disabilities (read Part 4 of the worksheet on the next page)
 
Salary and wages for the purpose of calculating your credits are the salary and wages paid or payable to an employee enrolled in an eligible
program, minus any related government or non-government assistance received or receivable. Salary and wages do not include profits,
bonuses, employee benefits or stock options. For the purpose of calculating the credits, government assistance does not include the federal
apprenticeship job creation tax credit claimed for this employee.
 
Notes: For the completion tax credit, the salary and wages can be applied twice for overlapping periods when more than one level was
completed within the same year.
 
  For example, an employee hired on April 1, 2022, had completed level 3 on May 31, 2023, and level 4 on November 30, 2023.
The employer can claim the salary and wages paid from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, for the level 3 credit and claim those paid
from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023, for the level 4 credit. The salary and wages paid from December 1, 2022,
to May 31, 2023, are included for both level 3 and level 4 credits.
 
If two or more employers, who are not dealing with each other at arm's length, are claiming this credit for the same employee, the total of all
amounts claimed by those employers cannot be more than the maximum amount that would be claimed if only one employer were making
the claim.
 
Complete the worksheet on the next page. If you have more than one employee enrolled in an eligible program, complete a separate
worksheet for each employee.
 
If you are filing a paper return, attach this form and the worksheets.
