2012 EI Insurable Earnings Released
The CEIFB (Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board) announced the 2012 EI rates including the maximum earnings that premiums can be deducted on.
CEIFB explains that "this amount is indexed annually using the growth in the average weekly earnings as published by Statistics Canada. Thus, an increase in premiums paid by employees is a combination of any change in the EI premium rate, as well as the impact of any change in the MIE (for those at the maximum level of insurable income)."
The Chief Actuary forecasts the break-even rate for 2012 for all provinces except Quebec to be $2.56 per $100 of insurable earnings. 2012 will be the first year the EI Operating Account is expected to break even on an annual basis.
For more information, go to www.ceifb-ofaec.ca> Media Room> CEIFB News Release The Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board Publishes its 2012 Employment Insurance Premium Rate Report
November 12, 2011
On November 7, 2011, the Finance Minister announced 2012 EI premiums will only rise by 5 cents to 1.83% due to the global economic slowdown. They had been expected to rise by 10 cents as announced on September 30, 2010.
An 16 week extension to the Work-Sharing Program was also announced.
2012 EI maximum insurable earnings have NOT been released yet ... but I am expecting they will be released by the third week in November as they were last year.
2012 CPP Rates were released on November 1.
BACKGROUND
In 2009, EI premiums were frozen as part of Canada's Economic Action Plan. The plan called for the premiums for 2011 and beyond to be set on a break-even basis.
The Finance Minister announced on September 30, 2010 that it still supported the principle that the EI system should break even over time ... but at a slower rate. This means there will need to be modest increases over a number of years to repay the deficit built up in 2009 and 2010.
To continue to support the current economic recovery, 2011 EI premiums only rose by 5 cents (.05%) instead of 15 cents (.15%) ... to 1.78% from the current 1.73%.
Subsequent years were expected to increase by 10 cents (.10%) per year.

Employment Insurance Premium Rate Setting Consultations
Last week, the Minister of Finance announced the launching of Employment Insurance (EI) premium rate-setting consultations.
"The consultations will focus on how the EI rate-setting mechanism can be further improved to ensure more stable and predictable rates, while:
- Ensuring the EI program breaks even over time;
- Avoiding large cumulative surpluses or deficits; and
- Maintaining a transparent rate-setting process."
Those wishing to participate can do so at Department of Finance> About Finance Canada> Consultation Paper: Employment Insurance Premium Rate Setting - August 18 2011 (www.fin.gc.ca/activity/consult/eiprs-etcac-eng.asp).
"This consultation is not about EI benefits and is focused exclusively on the EI rate-setting mechanism. In particular, the Government is seeking the views of Canadians on the following questions:
- What is a reasonable amount of time in which the EI program should be expected to break-even? (i.e., 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, etc.)
- What is an acceptable maximum annual change in EI premiums?
- What should be the rate-setting process?"

TFSA Contribution Limit For 2023
November 14, 2022
The annual contribution limit increases to $6,500 in 2023, up from $6,000. This was expected as an increase can be calculated based on CPI data released in October 2022. It will remain at $6,500 until cumulative annual inflation increases equal $500. This usually takes 3 to 4 years but given current rates of inflation, it is expected to change again in 2024. Then it will move to $7,000.
The cumulative contribution since 2009, for eligible individuals, is now $63,500. Annual limits are as follows:
2009 - 2012 $5,000
2013 - 2014 $5,500
2015 - $10,000
2016 - 2018 $5,500
2019 - 2022 $6,000
2023 - $6,500
With the exception of 2015, TFSA limits are indexed to inflation in $500 increments.

TFSA Contribution Room
TFSA Non-Arm's Length Loans
TFSA Returns
July 21, 2010
The Knowledge Bureau free weekly newsletter reminds us that a non-arm's length loan made to allow another person to make TFSA contribution is not allowed. The rules deem it to NOT be a TFSA.
The newsletter also pointed out that any interest paid on borrowed money for a TFSA contribution (or RRSP contribution), is NOT deductible.
The newsletter also listed the forms and return that needs to be filed if you owe tax on a TFSA.
- RC243 Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Return 2009
- RC243-SCH-A Schedule A - Excess TFSA Amounts
- RC243-SCH-B Schedule B - Non-Resident Contributions to a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA)
CRA has extended the deadline date from June 30, 2010 to August 3, 2010.
July 15, 2010
If you have a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA), be sure you understand your contribution room.
TFSAs allow Canadian residents to contribute $5,000 annually (plus indexation) where the investment income or capital gains earned are not subject to income tax ... if you stay away from prohibited investments or excess contributions.
Investment income or capital gains earned in the TFSA do not affect your contribution room.
2009 was the first year for this type of tax savings vehicle ... and there was some misunderstanding by some taxpayers of the rules pertaining to unused contribution room.
The general rule for TFSA withdrawals is you can withdraw any amount at any time with no tax consequences ... which then creates contribution room. However ...
withdrawals made during the year may NOT be added back (deposited to the account) until the following year.
The annual contribution room of $5,000 is created by filing a tax return, for those age 18 or older. There is no maximum age limit for TFSAs.

Proposed Revisions to TFSAs
On October 16, 2009 the Minister of Finance proposed technical changes to TFSAs due to recent tax planning schemes involving TFSAs.
It is proposed that these changes be effective October 17, 2009.
- Deliberate over contributions and prohibited investments will be subject to anti-avoidance rules.
- Non-qualified investments' income will be taxed at normal tax rates.
- Withdrawals of deliberate over contributions and other non-qualifying investments will not make additional TFSA contribution room.
- Income attributed to deliberate over contribution or prohibitive investments will be charged at 100% as per existing advantage rules.
- Asset transfer transactions (swaps) between TFSAs and other accounts will be prohibited.

CRA Announces 2023 CPP Maximum Pensionable Earnings
November 1, 2022
CRA released the 2023 CPP maximum pensionable earnings. See the 2023 CPP rates here.

Beginning in 2019, CPP retirement income will eventually replace 33% of average work earnings. It will gradually increase by 14% by 2025.

Changes Announced For CPP
It May Affect Your Plans For Early Retirement
July 16. 2011 (Editor: please note that some of these changes were rescinded in 2016 by the Liberal government - see above)
CRA has started reminding bookkeepers and small business owners with employees that "starting January 1, 2012, employers may have to deduct CPP contributions from the pensionable earnings they pay an employee who is at least 60 years of age but under 70, even if the employee is receiving a CPP or QPP retirement pension."
You can find CRA's page at Businesses> Payroll> Calculating deductions> CPP>Changes to the rules for deducting Canada Pension (CPP) contributions.
Service Canada also has information on their site at www.servicecanada.gc.ca>request a Service Canada Publication> Changes to the Canada Pension Plan.
Employees between 65-70 of age who are already receiving CPP benefits must file an election (Form CPT30 Election to Stop Contributing to the Canada Pension Plan, or Revocation of a Prior Election) with CRA if they do NOT want to continue making contributions.
Employees between 65-70 years old who have filed elections can revoke them ... but the revocation doesn't come into effect until the following calendar year.
November 2010
HRSDC has updated their information at www.hrsdc.gc.ca> Topics> Canada Pension Plan> Changes to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) ... it's a link under Our Programs.
October 2010
On December 15, 2009 proposed changes to the CPP plan became law through Bill C-51. Changes will be phased in over a five year period with some of the changes taking effect beginning in 2011.
If you have been thinking about applying to start your CPP pension early, you may want to bring yourself up-to-date on the changes to help you determine if you should be doing applying before December 21, 2010. Here is a useful reference to help you understand the changes:
The Advisor published by RBC Wealth Management Services wrote an article on March 25, 2010 that can be found by googling " RBC Wealth Management Services" + "March 25, 2010" + New Changes for CPP Pensioners Coming. It downloads as a pdf documents.
Another interesting article is interviews with actuarials by Jonathon Chevreau at the National Post. You can find it at Financial Post> Jonathan Chevreau Wealthy Boomer> May 28, 2009> Hello Freedom 70.
Of interest to bookkeepers is to note that in this article, Tom Walker, CFP and semi-retired actuary says,
"The current pension benefits of those who have already started to collect an early CPP pension will not be affected. However if a person who retired early prior to the proposed changes is working after the changes are implemented, he or she will be required to contribute prior to age 65 and will have the option to contribute after age 65. The additional contributions will result in additional benefits which are not currently available."
October 1, 2009
Taxtips.ca October newsletter made a good point I missed. The proposed changes will NOT affect people already receiving CPP or if they start to collect it before 2012.

Proposed Changes To CPP
Bookkeepers and small business owners may be interested to know that changes announced earlier this week will likely push out any plans you had for early retirement ... but will give more flexibility to baby boomers whose retirement savings took a dive over the past months.
The proposed changes that will start as of 2012 have been summarized very nicely by the Canadian Capitalist. Here they are in less elegant prose:

Red Tape Reduction Action Plan - Corporate Reporting Thresholds Updated
January 22, 2013
Government is raising the reporting thresholds in the Corporations Returns Act. The CRA news / press release stated:
"The thresholds were last amended in 1981, when they were set at $15 million in operating revenues, $10 million in assets and $200,000 of foreign debt or equity. Under the old thresholds, many smaller corporations are required to file ownership returns while not having any foreign ownership or control.
With these changes, only corporations with revenues of more than $200 million, assets over $600 million, or foreign debt and equity over $1 million will have to report financial and ownership information under the Act. At the same time, 99 percent of total foreign-controlled assets and 98 percent of total foreign-controlled revenues will still be covered. The reform will come into force in the spring of this year."
Red Tape Reduction Action Plan - Business Enquiries: Agent Greeting Policy
January 22, 2013
The Minister of National Revenue announced the Agent ID requirement for business enquiries phone service at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is now permanent. It had been a test pilot program since 2011.
When greeting clients, call agents must provide their first name, a number, and a regional suffix at the beginning of each call.
The regional suffixes are:
- A-T-L for Atlantic Region
- O-N-T for Ontario Region
- P-R-A for Prairie Region
The Agent ID number is meant to establish a friendly relationship as well as a sense of accountability; allow business owners and representatives to provide feedback; and foster a user-friendly experience.
Business callers and bookkeepers should be aware of the Agent ID and make it a practice to take note of it for future reference whenever you make an enquiry with CRA.
You can also expect highly specialized or complex technical enquiries to be referred to an audit specialist on that topic or to the CRA rulings programs for income tax or GST/HST. This "centre of expertise" approach results in higher accuracy and better service to taxpayers.
Don't forget that since April 2012, you can also ask your tax-related questions online through My Business Account. You will receive a written answer to your enquiry.

CRA Tips On Fraud Protection
March 26, 2015
The CRA has created a page on their website on tips to help protect yourself from anyone obtaining your tax information fraudulently. I think it can be applied to protecting all your financial information and identity documents.
Here are their suggestions with a few of my own embellishments:
- Choose your bookkeeper, accountant or tax preparer carefully.
- Keep your information up-to-date. Notify CRA when you change your address.
- Don't put personal information in emails. Sending an email on the internet is like putting a postcard in a Canada Post mailbox. Anyone who knows how can read it. It's much better to send sensitive and confidential information ... including your personal information ... by encrypted email.
- This one is pretty basic ... don't share your passwords or access codes or user IDs.
- Secure your documents that have your name and SIN. Shred documents with your personal identification on them ... especially those unrequested pre-approved credit card applications. If you have your business information on a computer, password the information. If you have a home office, keep you financial documents like bank and credit card statements in a locked filing cabinet.
- Don't let your bookkeeper open your bank and credit card statements ... or have blank cheques. You should be doing that.
- Remove your SIN card from your purse or wallet. It will prevent its theft in the event you lose your wallet or purse ... and don't release your SIN on applications unless you are completing financial information for a bank, brokerage house or your employer. They need it to issue tax slips. I'd question why anyone requires this information nowadays. Same goes for your birth date. Before just handing it over, find out why they want it.
- Don't let your mail pile up while you are away. It could be stolen, giving thieves access to your personal information. Have a family member or trusted neighbour pick it up ... or pay to have Canada Post hold it until you return.

CRA's 2015 Letter Campaign
December 8, 2014
In 2012, "Someone" at CRA had a sense of humor. On Christmas Eve, "Someone" sent out CRA's annual email reminding us about the annual letter campaign that would begin in January 2013. This year, like last year, the email was sent out in early December.
This the sixth year in a row CRA will be sending out 33,000 informational letters to help taxpayers understand their obligations.
CRA says there are two types of letters that will be going out. "Some taxpayers will receive a letter explaining the eligibility criteria for certain deductions they have claimed on their recent income tax returns. Others will receive a letter with the same information, but it will also inform them that their income tax returns may be selected for audit."
CRA wants "to allow taxpayers to amend their income tax returns by completing an adjustment request in cases where they may have claimed deductions in error or provided inaccurate information".
You can find more informatin on this campaign on CRA's website under Businesses> Other Topics> Audit> The CRA letters about your rental, business, professional or employment activities.

Current CRA Audit Priorities and Policies
November 23, 2012
The CRA Toronto Centre Tax Professionals Group had a breakfast seminar on November 14, 2012 where CRA's current audit priorities and policies were discussed.
You can find the GST/HST and Income Tax priority lists at lexology.com. Using their search box, set:
Scroll through the articles until you come to the November 14, 2012 article.
The article also includes CRA's comments on third party penalties and revocation of e-file privileges. The Guidon court case found that penalties imposed under the section 163.2 of the ITA is a criminal penalty not a civil one. CRA is now reassessing their options pertaining to third party penalties.
CRA is working on gaining access to accountants' working papers.
I found it interesting that the "CRA measures the performance of auditors based on six major elements:
- planning the audit;
- conducting the audit;
- applying the appropriate legislation/policy;
- the end product of the audit;
- professionalism in the audit; and
- timeliness of completion of the audit."
Another comment that caught my eye was:
"The CRA reiterated that issues that arise during the audit process should be raised with the auditor, after which it may be appropriate to involve the auditor’s team leader. If the issue cannot be resolved at that level, it would be appropriate to raise the issue with the auditor’s manager or the assistant director of audit at the particular TSO."
GST/HST Memoranda Series - 14.5 Election for Nil Consideration
October 19, 2012
In the December 15, 2011 issue of The Bookkeeper's Notes, I reviewed the most common sales tax issues found during a CRA audit. One item was the required elections which must be filed BEFORE an intercompany charge could be treated as an exempt supply ... or in other words ... as a nil consideration.
Nil consideration means the parties do not have to account for the sales tax that would be required if the election has not been made.
Yesterday, CRA issued GST/HST Memoranda Series - 14.5 Election for Nil Consideration.
This memorandum looks at the requirements for the election as well as the terms set out in section 156 of the Excise Tax Act (ETA). It includes the rules for closely related parties.

A new form is NOT required every year ... only if there is a change to the employee's personal tax credit amounts, although it is a good idea to update the TD1 each January for existing employees.

Basically, "the HCSB is a one-time credit of up to $1,000 based on the increase in an employer's employment insurance (EI) premiums paid for 2011 over those paid for 2010."
You qualify if your 2010 EI premiums were $10,000 or less and you experienced an increase in premiums in 2011.

Mandatory eFile Registration for Tax Preparers Preparing More Than 10 Returns
October 22, 2012
ATTENTION BOOKKEEPERS AND TAX PREPARERS
A CRA news release reminds tax preparers that effective January 2013, tax preparers preparing more than 10 returns ... and who charge a fee ... must register with CRA's eFile. Volunteer tax preparers who do not charge a fee are not required to register.
Registration requires a tax preparer to sign up for an eFile number in addition to using certified eFile software. The cost to register is free. Registration for the 2012 tax season begins today.
Non compliance may result in penalties being charged.
Registration can be done online on the CRA website ... cra-arc.gc.ca> Information for> Tax professionals> E-services for tax preparers> EFILE for electronic filers.
A note to small business owners who have a tax preparer prepare your taxes ... ask what tax program they use. If they tell you they are using QuickTax or TurboTax (a tax program you can buy to prepare your own taxes) ... I'd find someone else. They are not using CRA certified software. They are relying the on the programmed tax interview meant for your personal use. Knowledgeable tax preparers do not use these types of tax software!

CRA sent a reminder out on July 30, 2009 that Canadian electronic income is treated the same way as traditional commerce income. Both are taxable.
You still have time to amend 2008 personal tax returns, if this income was omitted. If a CRA audit uncovers the unreported income, penalties will occur along with the possibility of prosecution.
eBay sellers were used as an example. CRA has a list of all eBay sellers due to a recent Federal Court of Canada decision. Beginning late this summer, this information will be used to determine if they properly reported their income on their personal tax returns.
Under the Voluntary Disclosures Program, penalties and prosecution will not be applied it the taxpayer takes the initiative to correct returns already filed.
eBay sellers can learn about what business deductions they are eligible for in "The Tax" section.

Computation and Reporting of Interest Income
September 16, 2012
I was reading E&Y's latest Tax Matters newsletter. One article reviewed CRA's comments on the reporting requirements for interest income.
IT-396R Interest Income reviews how to compute and report investment income when no principal or interest payments are made on a loan.
For investments made before 1990, you may report accrued interest may be reported annually or triannually. If the money is invested in a long-term contract but does not make annual payments, you should be reporting your accrued interest based on the anniversary date of the contract, not the calendar year.
Interest earned on investments made after 1989 must be reported annually. How or when the interest is paid is not a factor.
If you do not report accrued interest, CRA will assess a late payment fee as well as assessing the accrued interest for the period. A groos negligence penalty may also be applied.

Electronic ROE Improvements
December 18, 2009
Two changes were made to the EI regulations back in March, 2009 that affect users who file ROEs (record of employment) electronically using ROE Web. The changes do NOT apply to employers still filing paper ROEs.
- If you submit an ROE electronically, you are no longer required to print paper copies for employees or Service Canada. Employees can go to My Account to view or print their ROE. You are asked however to supply a copy of the ROE as a courtesy if the employee asks for one.
- You now have up to 5 days after the end of the pay period to issue an electronic ROE. Previously, the ROE had to be issued within 5 days of the employee's earnings interruption. This should reduce the number of amendments required and make the processing of EI claims more efficient for Service Canada.
