PAYHR TUTORIALS / TAXES & COMPLIANCE
Every payroll creates source deductions you owe the Canada Revenue Agency: income tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI, plus the employer's share. This walkthrough shows PayHr's Taxes page, where those amounts collect into remittance periods with due dates based on your CRA remitter type.

INSIDE THE WALKTHROUGH
Open Taxes in the sidebar. Every approved payroll adds income tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI that you owe the Canada Revenue Agency. The cards total what's accumulating, what's due and what you've recorded as paid, and Next due shows your upcoming deadline.
Due dates depend on your CRA remitter type, so choose Remitter schedule. Most employers are regular remitters, paying by the fifteenth of the following month. Pick the type on your CRA notice, confirm it, and save. Employer EI is set here too.
Back on Taxes, each row is one remittance period. Open one to see the amount accrued, the tax breakdown, and the payrolls it includes with gross wages and the number of employees. Those are the figures your bank asks for when you remit.
Pay CRA through your business online banking or another CRA payment method. Once CRA has received it, use Record payment: enter the amount, the date CRA received it, and your confirmation number. Recording only updates your tracking. PayHr doesn't move money.
Not sure how to pay? How to pay CRA lists what to have ready and the online banking steps. If your workspace uses Automated Pay, the PayHr team handles those remittances, so don't pay them twice.
KEEP LEARNING
Workers' compensation premiums are an employer cost on top of payroll, paid to your provincial board: WSIB in Ontario, or the WCB in other provinces. This walkthrough shows PayHr's Workers' compensation page, what applies in each province, and how to set up your board account with your account number, premium rate and reporting frequency.
