Yes. In Canada, payroll taxes include:

  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
  • Employment Insurance (EI) premiums
  • Income tax deductions
  • Provincial payroll taxes (applicable in certain provinces)

Employers are responsible for withholding these amounts from employees' wages and remitting them to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Payroll compliance in Canada refers to the legal obligations employers must follow regarding employee compensation, deductions, and reporting. This includes:

  • Deducting and remitting income taxes, CPP, and EI
  • Maintaining accurate payroll records
  • Issuing T4 slips to employees and T4 summaries to the CRA
  • Following provincial employment standards on wages, overtime, and vacation pay
  • Complying with workers' compensation and other payroll-related regulations

Failure to comply can result in penalties and interest charges from the CRA.

Payroll compliance in Canada is regulated by:

  • Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): Oversees payroll deductions, tax remittances, and reporting.
  • Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC): Enforces federal labor standards.
  • Provincial/Territorial Ministries of Labour: Regulate employment standards, such as minimum wage and overtime rules.

Some provinces also have additional payroll tax requirements, such as Ontario’s Employer Health Tax (EHT) and Quebec’s CNESST contributions.

No, a Business Number (BN) issued by the CRA is a permanent identifier for tax purposes. However, you can close specific CRA accounts (such as payroll, GST/HST, or corporate tax) if your business is no longer operating.

To close a payroll account, you must:

  1. File all outstanding payroll remittances and T4 slips.
  2. Send a request to the CRA through your online account or by mail, providing your BN, business name, and reason for closure.

Even after closing, the BN remains on record with the CRA for future reference if needed.

Employers in Canada must contribute to:

  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP): Matching employee contributions (5.95% in 2024, up to the maximum pensionable earnings limit).
  • Employment Insurance (EI): Employer portion (1.4 times the employee contribution, up to the annual maximum).
  • Provincial payroll taxes: Some provinces impose additional employer taxes, such as:
    • Ontario Employer Health Tax (EHT)
    • Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP)
    • Manitoba and Newfoundland & Labrador payroll taxes

The total payroll tax burden varies depending on the province and the employee’s earnings.
