Frequently Asked Questions

Canadian employers manage federal obligations, including Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, plus provincial requirements such as employer health taxes, workersʼ compensation premiums, and payroll levies. Each province maintains distinct rates, thresholds, and reporting requirements, creating complexity for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions. Understanding which obligations apply and ensuring accurate calculations requires specialized knowledge of federal and provincial programs.
Payroll processing handles wage calculations, withholding, and payments each pay period. Employment tax focuses on compliance strategy, risk management, and optimization—examining whether employers are applying correct rates and classifications, identifying overpayments, assessing compliance positions, and supporting employers through examinations with taxing authorities. While payroll systems execute calculations, employment tax services ensure those calculations align with legislative requirements.
Reviews identify reporting inconsistencies, classification errors, and compliance gaps before they result in assessments, penalties, or interest. Ryan examines payroll filings and workforce classifications to uncover areas of opportunity or exposure, allowing organizations to address issues voluntarily. Reviews can reveal where employees were misclassified, rates were misapplied, or reporting positions may not withstand scrutiny. Identifying risks early helps employers strengthen compliance positions and avoid disruption.
Yes. Ryan’s employment tax services in Canada examine historical payroll calculations to identify overpaid amounts through misapplied rates, incorrect classifications, or misunderstanding of program rules. The Firm prepares documentation to support refund claims with Canada Revenue Agency or provincial authorities and manages submissions. Recovery opportunities can span multiple tax years, and amounts can be significant for employers with large or complex workforces.
Ryan manages communications with auditors, responds to information requests, and prepares technical analyses that support employer positions. This representation minimizes disruption to internal teams while Ryan handles the examination process. When audit results are unfavorable, the Firm supports employers through objection and appeal processes, preparing submissions and representing organizational interests.
