Pressure is mounting on the government to forgive CERB repayments for self-employed Canadians affected by the confusion over gross and net income: thestar.com/business/2021/…
Green Party MP @paulmanly has presented a petition to the House of Commons that received more than 7,000 signatures, asking the government to allow self-employed CERB recipients to retroactively use their gross self-employed income thestar.com/business/2021/…
In early December, many self-employed recipients found out for the first time that they were supposed to base their eligibility on net self-employed income — meaning after expenses — and not gross. thestar.com/business/2021/…
But they said this had not been made clear in the eligibility requirements posted online, or by CRA agents themselves. @paulmanly said the government needs to own up to its error thestar.com/business/2021/…
Minister @CQualtro says the government is “actively looking at options to respond to the concerns raised by some self-employed Canadians about the eligibility criteria for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and the information they received.” thestar.com/business/2021/…
