Problem with Federal link for Tourism & Hospitality Recovery Program:
For any of you who have tried to apply for this funding the Federal government announced that there was a problem with the application. Below is the full information on the problem and what to do if you tried to apply and were denied.The federal government is advising that recent applicants for the Tourism and Hospitality Recovery Program (THRP) may have been affected by
an error in the calculation spreadsheet for wage and hiring support, https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/wage-rent-subsidies/tourism-hospitality-recovery-program.html
which erroneously showed they were ineligible for the THRP when they may have been eligible.
Who This Error May Affect
You may have been affected if:
- You were applying for period 22 (October 24 to November 20, 2021)
- You used a version of the spreadsheet for wage and hiring (version 2021-1) that was available between Tuesday, December 21, 2021 at 6:00 am ET and Friday, December 24, 2021 at 12:00 pm ET
- You indicated you are a qualifying tourism or hospitality entity and had both a current-month revenue drop and 12-month average revenue drop over 40%
- Step 5 in the spreadsheet showed a zero dollar amount and gave the message that you were not eligible for the THRP
This error was only present in the calculation spreadsheet for wage and hiring support.
What To Do If You Think You Have Been Affected by This Error
If you did not apply for period 22:
- Download the latest version of the spreadsheet https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/wage-rent-subsidies/covid-wage-hiring-support-businesses/wage-calculate-amount.html?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=200046287&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8c9faPwfR38dgTOaALvlj9ijn1bW4TH_6jv_AZ3yF-8eRIf4GgQ89kbuCaJs2KGXyYhk91cWNFGhOFwlvkll3qW6ZuXg&utm_content=200046287&utm_source=hs_email and do your calculation again for period 22 to check if you are eligible to apply for the THRP - Wage
