This seminar will show you how to avoid the most common compliance issues found in CRA and Revenu Québec (RQ) audits.
Your National Payroll Institute instructors will guide you through an in-depth review of applicable legislation and regulations, and explain the key concepts used by CRA and RQ to evaluate taxability and assess more than 40 common benefits, including automobile allowances, loan and stock options, and gift cards.
Throughout the seminar, an additional focus will be placed on one of the most common audit issues: excluding taxable benefits and allowances from employment income.
