Service Overview

Managing payroll in Canada demands exact adherence to statutory deadlines and regulations. We handle your entire payroll cycle: gross-to-net pay computations, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, federal/provincial income tax withholdings, monthly CRA payroll remittances, Record of Employment (ROE) submissions, and year-end T4 slip distribution.

Payroll compliance in Canada carries strict, non-negotiable deadlines. Employers are responsible for correctly calculating and withholding CPP, EI, and income tax at source, remitting those amounts to the CRA on the schedule assigned to them, and issuing accurate T4 slips and Records of Employment on time — missing any of these can mean real penalties and interest, which is why payroll is typically handled with the same discipline as tax filing itself.

Ideal forCanadian employers with salaried, hourly, full-time, part-time, or seasonal staff.

Why choose Lira Tax for Canadian Payroll Services

Certified expertise, proactive planning, and clear communication — on every engagement.

Payroll runs on a fixed, reliable cycle

Gross-to-net calculations, statutory deductions, and pay stub delivery follow the same dependable cycle every pay period, which is the standard for payroll processing generally.

CRA remittance deadlines are non-negotiable

CPP, EI, and income tax source deductions must reach the CRA on the schedule assigned to the employer — missing that schedule is one of the most common (and costly) payroll mistakes.

Year-end reporting done to CRA standard

T4 and T4A slips, the T4 Summary, and Records of Employment each have their own filing rules and deadlines that a standard payroll process is built around.

Canadian Payroll Services — frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how this service works and what we need from you.

T4 and T4A slips, along with the T4 Summary, must be filed with the CRA and provided to employees by the last day of February following the calendar year.

It depends on the employer's assigned remitter type, which the CRA sets based on average monthly withholding — typically monthly for smaller employers, with more frequent remittances required as payroll size grows.

An ROE is required whenever an employee has an interruption of earnings, such as a layoff or resignation, and generally must be issued within 5 calendar days through Service Canada's Web ROE system.

For most Ontario employers, yes — WSIB premiums and reporting are a standard part of payroll compliance alongside CRA remittances.
