How do I use the new 10% reduction in income tax withholding?

donbowman

[Canada] Announced this week, this section below, it says I can reduce my remittance of 10% immediately.

But how do i do this in wave?

"Helping Businesses Keep their Workers
To support businesses that are facing revenue losses and to help prevent lay-offs, the government is proposing to provide eligible small employers a temporary wage subsidy for a period of three months. The subsidy will be equal to 10% of remuneration paid during that period, up to a maximum subsidy of $1,375 per employee and $25,000 per employer. Businesses will be able to benefit immediately from this support by reducing their remittances of income tax withheld on their employees’ remuneration. Employers benefiting from this measure will include corporations eligible for the small business deduction, as well as non-profit organizations and charities."

I have the same question and would like to implement this in the current payroll period given it is effective immediately.

donbowman

in addition, we can defer remittance entirely until sept, according to the press release.

I don't think we can do this w/o waveapps help tho?

Yeah, I'd love to figure this out... it's pretty crucial for us right now.

Hey @donbowman @eda @bryankulba @RyanS

First off, we apologize greatly that your businesses have been impacted by Covid-19 and we are currently working diligently to get this sorted out for you and other payroll users.

An email has been sent out titled, "Payroll Update: Temporary Wage Subsidy Program." If you haven't seen that, please take the time to read what Wave Payroll is currently doing to support you, your business and your employees during this time.

Wave has been closely monitoring this and in response, have been working throughout the weekend to make this feature available via Wave Payroll as soon as possible.

We will be reaching out with more updates as this develops. In addition, we will place updates related to your payroll service in our help centre here: https://support.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040649172
