Tax Calculation

In the Payroll > Tax Definitions screen of People in the Tax Status section, when you add a tax status record with the ZZ - Canadian Beyond Provinces or US - Canadian Beyond Province option selected, Dayforce calculates employee taxes as follows:

  • Dayforce doesn’t withhold these provincial or territorial taxes:
    • Provincial income tax
    • QPP
    • QPIP
    • NT Payroll Tax
    • NU Payroll Tax
    • Health tax (for example, NL HAPSET, ON EHT, MB HE Levy, QC HSF)
  • Dayforce withholds federal income taxes.
  • Dayforce withholds EI and CPP at the normal rate, including for Quebec employees.

Dayforce also doesn't calculate the employer worker's compensation deductions for the employee's legal entity. The ZZ - Canadian Beyond Provinces or US - Canadian Beyond Province option doesn't prevent Dayforce from collecting other non-tax deductions that are set up in the employee's payroll elections, or garnishments.
