Small Business Payroll Services

A payroll is a legal requirement in Canada. It’s important for businesses that pay salaries, wages and tips to have an up-to-date tax program so you can make your source deduction to Canada Revenue Agency properly and on time.

Pivotop Accounting Services provides a full spectrum of payroll services. We help businesses through every stage, from the initial setup to issuing employees and tracking deductions in Cobourg or any part of Canada we serve!

Payroll Account Registration

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all businesses to register for a payroll account before processing employee payments. Proper registration ensures compliance with federal tax regulations and accurate reporting of employee income for tax purposes.

At Pivotop Accounting Services, we simplify payroll account registration, ensuring your business complies with both federal and Ontario provincial legislation. Our expertise ensures that every step is completed accurately and efficiently, giving you peace of mind and keeping your business fully compliant with legal requirements.

To set up your payroll, we will:

  1. Register your CRA payroll account number to meet federal requirements.
  2. Register with the Ontario Ministry of Finance for Employer Health Tax (EHT) remittance, if your business exceeds the EHT exemption threshold.
  3. Register with the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) within 10 days of hiring your first employee, ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations.

With Pivotop Accounting Services, you can trust us to handle the complexities of payroll registration, allowing you to focus on your business with confidence, knowing your payroll setup is done right.

Payroll Deduction Remittance

When operating a business that pays employees, it is essential to manage payroll deductions accurately. Payroll deductions are amounts withheld from an employee’s gross wages to cover government-mandated programs and services, leaving employees with their net pay, as reflected on their pay statements.

Payroll deductions typically include amounts for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), and income tax. Proper calculation and timely remittance of these deductions to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are critical for compliance with federal regulations.

At Pivotop Accounting Services, we provide personalized payroll management to ensure that deductions are accurately calculated, withheld and remitted on time. Our expertise guarantees that all amounts are correctly recorded on tax forms, making year-end reporting and tax preparation seamless.

With Pivotop Accounting Services, you can rely on accurate payroll deduction management, giving you confidence in your compliance while focusing on running your business effectively.

T4 (T4A) & T4 (T4A) Summary Issuance

The T4 and T4A forms are essential documents for reporting employee income and certain other payments, such as pension or retirement income, in compliance with Canadian tax regulations. Employers in Canada are required to issue these slips to employees and recipients and submit them to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

At Pivotop Accounting Services, we ensure your T4 and T4A slips are accurately prepared and submitted on time, helping businesses in Cobourg maintain compliance with federal tax laws. Our expertise ensures that all required information is properly recorded, reflecting the income paid and deductions withheld during the reporting period.

Employers must also complete a T4 or T4A Summary for each payroll account, consolidating the information from all slips issued. These summaries, along with the corresponding slips, must be filed with the CRA by the specified deadline to avoid penalties.

Pivotop Accounting Services simplifies the process, ensuring all forms are accurately prepared and filed, whether online or by mail. Let us handle your T4 and T4A reporting requirements, so you can focus on managing your business with confidence.
