Reliance Tax Services — accounting and tax services in Calgary

Payroll

Payroll services in Calgary

Pay runs, source deductions and the filings that follow — on time, and under Alberta rules rather than generic ones.

Pay runs

Hourly, salaried, banked overtime, and Alberta construction percentages in lieu of vacation and general holiday pay. Direct deposit and pay statements included.

Source deductions and remittances

Calculated and remitted before the deadline rather than on it. New employers are regular remitters, which means the 15th of the month following payment.

Records of employment

Issued correctly and on time, which matters more to your former employee than almost anything else you do.

T4s and T4As

Prepared, filed with CRA and issued to employees by the last day of February.

WCB and employment standards

Registration where required, and the Alberta rules on vacation pay, general holiday pay and overtime applied properly rather than approximated.

Common questions

Should I pay myself salary or dividends?

It depends on RRSP room, CPP, the corporation's tax position and what you need personally. It is worth modelling once a year rather than defaulting. We do that as part of year-end work.

When should I open a payroll account?

Only when someone is actually going to be paid. An open account with no activity still owes nil remittances, and CRA sends letters when they do not arrive.
