  • T4 Summary and Supplementary reporting forms provided to you by the Federal Government.
  • Retiring allowances, including termination and severance pay, must be reported on T4s.
  • Note that amounts eligible for transfer to an RRSP are reported separately on this form from those that are ineligible for such transfers.

Employers must complete and file the Ontario Employers' Health Tax Annual Return. You should receive this return from the Provincial Government in January 2018.

Generally, employers are exempt from Ontario Employers' Health Tax on the first $450,000 of Ontario payroll. This exemption must be shared among associated employers. This exemption is eliminated for private sector employers with annual Ontario payrolls over $5 million.
