CRA Source Deductions

Be on time or pay the fine.

The penalty for failing to remit your source deductions to the Canada Revenue Agency in a timely fashion can range from:
  • three per cent if the amount owing is one-to-three days late;
  • five per cent if it's four or five days late;
  • seven per cent if it's six or seven days late; and
  • 10 per cent if it's more than seven days late.
Further, the CRA can also assess a penalty  of 10 per cent, and up to 20 per cent, when:
  • you with-hold the deductions but fail to remit them; or
  • the amount you remitted is past the due date.
Of course, as an IBEX client, you don't have to worry about remitting your source deductions on time; it's a part of what we do.

Outsourcing your payroll saves you more than a lot of time and a little frustration; it can save you hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars in late payment fines while reducing your stress level and keeping you in the good books with our friends at the CRA.
