Payroll questions
What small business owners in Ontario ask us most about payroll.
-
When are source deductions due to CRA?
Most small employers remit by the 15th of the month following the pay period. New employers and those CRA designates as regular remitters follow this schedule. Accelerated remitters (usually businesses with over $25,000 average monthly withholdings) remit twice monthly. We track your classification and never miss a deadline. -
What is an owner-manager payroll?
If you run a corporation, you can pay yourself a salary, dividends, or a mix of both. Salary requires a payroll account and T4 filing. Dividends do not. The optimal split depends on your marginal tax rate, RRSP room, CPP contributions, and business income. We model this for you at year-end. -
Can you issue Records of Employment (ROEs) when employees leave?
Yes. ROEs must be issued within five calendar days of the first day of interruption of earnings. We prepare and submit ROEs electronically to Service Canada as part of your payroll engagement. -
We have been doing payroll manually. Can you take it over mid-year?
Yes. We review your year-to-date figures, reconcile against CRA records, and take over from the next pay period. Any discrepancies are corrected before year-end T4 filing. -
What happens if CRA has a payroll query or audit?
Payroll audit support is included in your engagement. We respond to CRA correspondence, provide working papers, and represent you through the review.
