Report Education Assistance Amounts for Employees (Canada Only)

The Canadian Revenue Agency has a requirement for reporting of Education Assistance amounts provided to Employees.

Employer Paid tuition fees provided under a program established under the authority of the Department of Employment and Social Development Act are to be reported in Box 196 of the Form T4A. These amounts are also included in Box 105.

Before You Begin: If you have a Box 105 mapping for the T4A, you must evaluate whether you need to add the mapping for Box 196.

This Tax & Compliance Rule mapping for this box does not need to be added if the Educational Assistance was provided for an institution not certified by Employment and Social Development Canada.

To view tax form mapping information for an earning definition:

1. Go to Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions and click the Earnings tab.
2. Select a earning in the sidebar to load its details.
3. Click the Tax and Compliance tab.
4. In the Canada sub-tab, locate the ROE or Tax Form/Report Mapping section and, if needed, change the mapping.
