Example Calculation

If an employer pays an intern $20 per hour for 10 hours per week, and the supervisor’s wage is $30 per hour for 10 hours per week, the total weekly eligible expenses would be:

• Intern’s Weekly Wage: $20 脳 10 = $200
• Supervisor’s Weekly Wage: $30 脳 10 = $300
• Total Eligible Expenses: $200 + $300 = $500

Applying the standard tax credit rate of 24%:

• Tax Credit: $500 脳 24% = $120

Therefore, the employer would receive a $120 refundable tax credit per week for this intern.
