For legal entities in Canada, you must configure the application to remit taxes through the Government Remittance System (GRS) in the Dayforce Back Office system, and to specify the frequency at which those taxes will be remitted. This is to ensure that remittances are made correctly and on time. This is done in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity, in the Tax Remittance tab.
