Questions
-
When are T4s due?
T4 slips must be given to employees and filed with the CRA by the last day of February for the preceding calendar year. Late filing carries a penalty per slip, so it is worth starting in January.
-
How quickly does an ROE have to be issued?
Generally within five calendar days of the end of the pay period in which the interruption of earnings occurred, when filing electronically. Employees cannot claim EI without it, so delays have real consequences for them.
-
I pay myself from my corporation. Is that payroll?
If you take a salary, yes — it requires a payroll account, source deductions and a T4. If you take dividends, it does not. Which one suits you is a planning question worth answering deliberately.
