oEach year, it is possible for the payroll service to take certain actions to facilitate the work of the employer. However, several tasks remain the responsibility of the employer. Here is a table that disentangles these two notions.

oHowever, please note that the Manage the Year-end activities screen present in the Year-End menu of the payroll application lists all the actions that your company must take in the application in order to end the year well.

What the payroll service does for the employer

What employers have to do by themselves

✓Reports to help you verify your data before producing income tax slips (billable, on demand).

✓Changes in the basic personal amounts granted by each government (Québec and federal)

✓Changes made to the tax tables by government (federal and provincial)

✓Source deductions and CNT remittances: we can issue the payments for you (see your service agreement).

✓Changes in rates:
- Employment Insurance (regular and reduced that meet the standards)
- CNT (if we issue the payment for you - see your service agreement)

✓Transmission of data to the governments

Federal : Transmission of tax slips and employer summary to Canada Revenu Agency.

Important note

✓As needed, postpone the tax slips production.
Should you need extra time to transfer your data to our payroll application (pension adjustment amounts, manual cheques…).

✓When you did your YDT adjustments, authorize the tax slips production.
This is not automatic when production has been postponed.

✓Issuing HST payment: If you have made an adjustment to your HST rate, you will need to issue the retroactive payment yourself.

✓Issuing source deduction remittances: If you have made adjustments to employee YTD after the first pay of the year.

✓Issuing CNT payment: if we don't issue the payment for you (see your service agreement).

✓See activities to complete "Before tax slips production" and "After tax slips production".
