Remitter frequency follows average monthly withholding — new employers generally remit monthly by the 15th of the following month. Our payroll remittance services engagement is priced as a pocket-friendly flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
The pattern in payroll remittance services files repeats often enough that a tax services provider can usually tell early on where a file will need work. What follows is that read, written down for Payroll Remittance Services.
Here is where every serious conversation about Payroll Remittance Services begins: Source deductions are held in trust for the Crown. Directors can be assessed personally for unremitted amounts, and that liability survives the corporation.
The second point follows directly from the first. Remitter frequency follows average monthly withholding. A business that grows into the accelerated threshold keeps remitting monthly at its peril — the deadline moves before the CRA writes to say so. The documentation side matters just as much. Late payroll remittances draw a penalty of 3% to 10% depending on how late, doubling to 20% for a repeat failure with gross negligence in the same calendar year.
If the rules above feel like they might interact in your situation, that instinct is usually right. Sorting out how is the core of what a tax services provider does on a payroll remittance services engagement. The smoothest files are the ones where the client arrives with these records already assembled.
We keep the commercial side simple. The fee is fixed and agreed in advance, the file is reviewed with you before filing, and you pay after the service — in that order, every time.

An incentive review at a logistics operator with drivers in three provinces in Ottawa, Ontario found T4 slips filed weeks after the deadline with no relief request made on the per-slip penalty and recovered $68,000 across 7 open years.
A $14,500 reassessment was proposed against a clinic paying its associates as contractors in Regina, Saskatchewan following a director facing a personal assessment for unremitted source deductions. The documented response reduced it to nil.
Scaling exposed a bonus accrued to bring the year-end tax bill down and still unpaid more than a year later at an employer whose remittance frequency moved up a threshold in Lethbridge, Alberta. The back office was rebuilt to match, freeing $148,000.
A remuneration review at an employer providing company vehicles in Surrey, British Columbia found an employee over-deducted for CPP and EI after being moved between two related payroll accounts mid-year and saved $11,000 across the corporate and personal returns.
Remittances at a charity with part-time program staff in Victoria, British Columbia were chronically late because of T4 slips filed weeks after the deadline with no relief request made on the per-slip penalty. Fixing the schedule refunded $65,000.
The ledger at a 30-employee manufacturer in Vancouver, British Columbia could not support its own filings because of remittances still going out monthly after the business had moved to the accelerated threshold. Rebuilding it surfaced $21,000 in unclaimed input tax.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Payroll Remittance Services starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you pay only after you have reviewed and approved the deliverable. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the free 15-minute call.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit representation works.
Yes. Late filing penalties compound at 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, so the cost of waiting is real. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you already know about. An experienced tax accountant finds the ones you do not: capital cost allowance timing, the small business deduction threshold, shareholder loan repayment rules, and TOSI exposure on family dividends. The fee is usually smaller than the deductions it surfaces.

The honest answer comes down to one rule. Late payroll remittances draw a penalty of 3% to 10% depending on how late, doubling to 20% for a repeat failure with gross negligence in the same calendar year. That is the part we verify before anything is filed.
In our files, this is the deciding factor: Source deductions are held in trust for the Crown from the moment they are withheld, which is why directors can be personally liable for unremitted amounts under section 227.1. Unlike most corporate debts, this one can follow the directors personally after the company is gone. A tax filing specialist applies it to your numbers before submission.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
Your employer withholds federal and Ontario income tax using the pay period, your annual rate of pay and the claim codes from the TD1 forms you signed, then adds CPP contributions and EI premiums until the yearly maximums are reached. Because the tax portion follows brackets, the percentage held back rises as pay rises. For an exact figure, run your gross pay through the CRA's Payroll Deductions Online Calculator, which applies the current year's tables.
There is no single percentage. Your employer applies the federal withholding table plus the table for your province or territory, using pay frequency, your annual rate of pay and the amounts claimed on your federal and provincial TD1 forms, then adds CPP contributions and EI premiums until the annual maximums are met. Pension contributions, union dues and benefit premiums come off separately. The CRA's Payroll Deductions Online Calculator reproduces the exact figures shown on your stub.
The CRA no longer runs walk-in counters for general tax help, so there is no office you can visit to file or ask questions. Contact is by phone, by mail, or through My Account and My Business Account; in-person help is limited to arranged appointments in specific programs. Mailing addresses differ by centre and by what you are sending, so use the address printed on your CRA letter or on the CRA's website.
No single percentage applies. Income tax is charged in brackets, so your average rate sits well below your top rate; federal rates for 2026 run from 14% up to 33%, and your province adds its own brackets on top. Employees also pay CPP of 5.95% on earnings above the $3,500 exemption to $74,600 and EI of $1.63 per $100 to $68,900 for 2026. The CRA payroll deductions online calculator gives your own figure.
No. Age creates no exemption. Income tax is withheld from a young worker’s pay in the usual way, though many earn less than the basic personal amount and recover the withheld tax by filing a return. EI premiums apply at any age. CPP contributions begin with the month after the worker turns 18, so no CPP comes off before then. Filing anyway is worth it, because earned income builds RRSP room for later.
No. Money you borrow is not income, so a student loan does not go on your return and changes nothing about your tax bill when you receive it or when you repay it. Grants, bursaries and scholarships are different: those arrive on a tax slip and may need to be reported, although full-time students often find the scholarship exemption covers them. The only tax benefit tied to the loan itself is the credit for interest paid on a government student loan.
Yes. Tips are taxable income to whoever ends up with them, whether paid in cash, added to a card or shared through a pool. Controlled tips that the employer collects and hands out are treated as employment income and run through payroll with the usual withholdings. Direct tips passed straight from customer to server are reported by the server on their T1. An owner includes any tips retained by the business in business income.
There is no single percentage. Your employer withholds federal and provincial income tax based on your pay, your claim amounts and your province, plus CPP at 5.95% on earnings between the $3,500 exemption and the 2026 maximum of $74,600, and EI at $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings to the 2026 maximum of $68,900. Federal rates for 2026 begin at 14% and rise through higher brackets, and each province adds its own. CPP and EI stop once the annual maximums are reached.
Employers calculate deductions at source with the CRA payroll deductions online calculator or the published payroll deductions tables, using the pay period, the province of employment and the employee's TD1 claim codes. Income tax, CPP or QPP and EI are each computed separately and then remitted by the employer's remittance due date — federal tax, CPP and EI to the CRA, and Quebec provincial tax, QPP and QPIP to Revenu Québec where the employee works in Quebec, which also needs Revenu Québec's own calculator or guide. Manual calculation is possible, but the calculator is updated whenever rates change, so it is the safer route.
No. A tip is payment for service, not a gift, so it is taxable even when it is voluntary, paid in cash, and recorded by nobody. Genuine personal gifts from family or friends are not taxable in Canada, but money a customer leaves because of work you performed does not qualify. Report tips with your employment or self-employment income; if you were paid in cash, your own daily log is the record.
Canada applies graduated federal and provincial rates, and payroll withholds both on top of CPP and EI, so the total deduction looks large before any credits are settled. Payroll also annualises each payment, so a large or irregular cheque is taxed as though every period looked the same. Working two jobs distorts it further, because each payroll applies its own credits. Filing your return reconciles the real amount and refunds anything over-withheld.
Ontario's HST is 13% for 2026, 5% federal and 8% provincial, and relief for a Status Indian purchaser turns on delivery rather than where the shop sits. Goods bought off reserve are taxable unless the vendor delivers them to the reserve, and a service is relieved only when performed on reserve. Eligible First Nations purchasers can claim point-of-sale relief for the 8% provincial part on qualifying off-reserve purchases by presenting a Certificate of Indian Status; the 5% federal part still applies.
