The My Tax Filing Information (WEPRLC) screen allows the employee to edit or view the tax filing information held in the company’s records regarding the employees' Federal and Provincial Income tax withholding.
The following ‘Government Personal Tax Credit’ forms must be filed by each employee for the employer for each employment.
