An effective payroll system involves more than ensuring that employees are paid their wages. The global economy and the enhanced sophistication of tax regimes around the world have resulted in a much more complex payroll regime, particularly in the area of tax compliance.

There was a time where it was routine for organizations to relocate employees in response to business needs. Due to the cost of such relocations and a variety of other factors, the increasingly prevalent practice is for organizations to send employees on relatively short foreign assignments or for employees to remain at home and commute to their foreign locations. While these practices significantly complicate the associate payroll tax obligations, many organizations are blissfully unaware of their payroll obligations in these situations. Adequate processes are required to ensure complete and accurate reporting, as well as withholding and remittance, of the taxes that are due to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. To compound matters, heightened sensitivity surrounding cross-border travel and data sharing between government tax departments increases the risk of detection where payroll processes fall short.

Foreign and domestic organizations operating in all jurisdictions in Canada have to deduct, remit and report source deductions of federal income tax and provincial income tax, Canada Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance premiums (where applicable) to the Canada Revenue Agency, as well as other Employer payroll taxes depending on the jurisdiction or province where the services are rendered.

Join Canadian-based presenters Susan Kaukonen-Low, a senior associate with Deloitte, and Zaheed Alibhai, a senior manager at Deloitte, as they help you understand these critical cross-border payroll issues:

•Determining employer payroll obligations in jurisdiction of employment, employee’s residency and origin of payment;
•Inadequate processes to identify and compile complete compensation subject to employer payroll requirements;
•Determining taxability of various elements of remuneration;
•Particularities of sourcing equity and deferred compensation; and
•Lack of expertise in local payroll teams to deal with payroll in cross border situations.

This webinar is designed for HR Practitioners, Payroll Managers and Financial Officers who manage the business traveler process within their organizations.
