Complete this form to calculate your British Columbia shipbuilding and ship repair industry tax credit for employers. If you are completing the tax return for a corporation, use T2 Schedule 430, British Columbia Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Industry 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:
- Your principal business, at any time in the year, was the construction, repair or conversion of ships in British Columbia.
- You employed a person who was registered in an eligible program administered through the 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/ship-build-repair, or call 1-877-387-3332.
There are three elements to the shipbuilding and ship repair industry tax credit:
- Basic tax credit for an eligible apprenticeship program (Red Seal and non-Red Seal) (read Part 2 of the worksheet);
- Completion tax credit for an eligible training program (Red Seal and non-Red Seal) (read Part 3 of the worksheet); and
- Enhanced tax credit for First Nations individuals and persons with disabilities (read Part 4 of the worksheet).
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.
Note:
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 electronically, keep all your documents in case we ask to see them at a later date.
