APPRENTICESHIP JOB CREATION TAX CREDIT
The Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit is a non-refundable tax credit available to employers, equal to 10% of the eligible salaries and wages payable to eligible apprentices in respect of employment after May 1, 2006. The maximum credit is $2,000 per year for each eligible apprentice. More information.
Tradesperson’s Tools Deduction
If you reimburse or provide an allowance to your employees to offset the cost of tools that they need for their job or you pay for their tools, the amount of the payment is a taxable benefit and should be included in the employees' income.
When employed tradespersons (including apprentice mechanics) file their income tax and benefit return, they may be able to deduct part of the cost of eligible tools they bought to earn employment income as a tradesperson. More information.

Meet Wesley Rowe, Skills Canada Saskatchewan competitor in Plumbing! 🔧
Inspired by his dad’s career, Wesley found his passion in the trade and never looked back. While most of his learning came on the job, training at Sask Polytech taught him key techniques like offset and 45° angle calculations, which played a big role during competition.
"The hardest part was figuring out all the angles, but once you slow down and draw it out, it comes together."
Now working toward his journeyperson certification, Wesley says competing isn’t about winning or losing—it’s about connection, learning new techniques, and growing in a trade where everyone has different strengths. 🙌
