Example: Calculate Manitoba Retail Sales Tax on Employer-Paid Premiums (CAN)

Example: Calculate Manitoba Retail Sales Tax on Employer-Paid Premiums (CAN)

This example illustrates 1 way to create a deduction that calculates the Manitoba Retail Sales Tax (RST) based on the worker's province of residence.
Jon's company calculates sales taxes on employer-paid insurance premiums for the employee payroll deductions. Jon's company employs workers from all over Canada, including Manitoba. For employer-paid premiums, Manitoba RST is based on the province of residence, while Quebec and Ontario sales tax is based on the province of employment. As a result, Jon needs to define 2 separate deductions:
  • 1 that calculates the Manitoba RST for Manitoba resident employees.
  • 1 that calculates sales tax based on province of employment for employees who aren't residents of Manitoba.
  • Add the
    Manitoba Retail Sales Insurance Premium Tax (MBRST) [CAN]
    deduction to Manitoba's tax setup.
  • Add the
    Manitoba Retail Sales Insurance Premium Tax (MBRST) [CAN]
    deduction to your account posting rule set.
  • Security:
    • Set Up: Payroll - Company Specific (Taxes) - CAN
      domain in the CAN Payroll functional area.
    • Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific)
      domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
