December Year-End Readiness Update

December Year End Readiness Update
 

Year-End is almost here! 

 

RGB Accounting and ADP want your Year-End to be less stressful and less work.  After processing your last payroll for 2021, ADP will automatically run a new  Tax Form Trial Run Report.

What should you do?

*NEW – Tax Profile Change Form. Requesting updates to company rates or exemptions is faster than ever with a new intuitive form!

  • Process any final adjustments for 2021 before your last payroll.  This will ensure ADP submits all remittances to the appropriate government agencies by the deadline.


How can you be prepared?

  • Register to attend a Year-End Readiness Client Webinar. Look out for an email invitation. 
  • Complete ADP’s Introduction to Year-End & Balancing Training on The Bridge > Year-End > Choose your product > Training & Tutorials. 

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.
