With our expertise and guidance, you can experience a stress free tax season!

Understand the New T4 Reporting Requirements

For the 2020 tax year, in addition to reporting employment income in Box 14 or Code 71, business owners must use new information codes. This will allow employment income and retroactive payments to be accurately accounted for.

Below is the list of new codes within your T4 Statement.

Code 57: Employment income – March 15 to May 9
Code 58: Employment income – May 10 to July 4
Code 59: Employment income – July 5 to August 29
Code 60: Employment income – August 30 to September 26

Important Note: Eligibility criteria for the CERB, CEWS, and CESB is based on employment income for a defined period. The new requirement means that all employers should report income and any retroactive payments, including cash and non-cash taxable benefits, made during these periods, regardless of whether or not they applied for and received CEWS.

Example T4 Code Usage - Employment Income

If you are reporting employment income for the period of April 25th until May 8th, payable on May 14, you would use Code 58.
