MAINTAIN CANADIAN TAX RATES#
Canadian Tax Rates are the tax rates for all federally or provincially mandated deductions and contributions, such as pensions (CPP, QPP), employment insurance (EI), income tax (federal and provincial).
The Canadian Tax Rate detail contains all of the rates, limits, constants and amounts that are to be used for legislative calculations, recorded by effective date.
CCRA supplies the legislated rates, effective January 1st, and sometimes July 1st, of each year. High Line provides the Canadian Tax Rates file. A new file is provided whenever there is a change in the tax rates.
Canadian Tax Rates are maintained through the Maintain CDN Tax Rates (IPCT) form.
