Year-End Legislative Updates
- T4 Codes 57-60 introduced in 2020 for COVID-19:CRA has confirmed these codes are not required for 2021
- T2200 Short- Working from home during COVID-19: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has not yet announced how working from home, due to COVID-19, will be handled for the 2021 taxation year. ADP is closely monitoring announcements and will communicate any updates in future newsletters, the Bridge and Webinars
- Dynamic Federal Basic Personal Amount: On December 9, 2019, the Federal Government proposed a plan to increase the Basic Personal Amount (BPA) to $15,000 by 2023 for the Middle Class. The Basic Personal Amount (BPA) gradually reduces for individuals with a high net income (over $150,473):
- As of January 2022, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires Payroll Service Providers to implement system changes to use a dynamic calculation for determining an employee’s Basic Personal Amount (BPA).
- The dynamic calculation will consider an employee’s estimated annualized earnings, every pay, to determine net income, used to determine the Basic Personal Amount (BPA).
- Currently, ADP applies a static exemption to employees with standard exemptions. As of January 1, 2022, ADP will use the dynamic calculation, and as a result, a high-income earner may see a slight increase in their federal income tax deduction.
- Have your employees complete a new TD1 Form every year and make the required changes, in your product, before processing your first payroll of 2022.
