FAQ: Setup Taxes (CAN)

To configure a worker who physically works in a province that is different than their province of employment for tax purposes:

Verify the
Location
field on the worker's position displays their physical location. The position location determines which province calculates workers compensation and statutory holiday.
Use the
Change Work Contact Information
task and set the
Alternate Work Location
to the province that taxes the worker. Take this action if the tax province is different from their physical location, according to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines.

See: Which provincial or territorial tax tables you should use.

Example: A remote worker works from home in British Columbia where there's no physical work location. After reviewing Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines, you determine that Ontario is the worker's province of employment. For this worker, the position

Location

province is British Columbia and the

Alternate Work Location

is Ontario. Taxes (FIT/PIT, CPP, EI, ONEHT) calculate for Ontario. Workers compensation benefits calculate for British Columbia.
