Canadian Employer Health Tax - Supplier Property

The calculation of Canadian Employer Health Tax is not handled by Vertex. A special procedure to insert these Employer Taxes for the Provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador is done at time of implementation.

Note: Placing an End Date record mid-year is not retroactively applied; only going forward.

Logic

By default, the Tax Record will not display, but will adhere to the following logic:

• Current year remuneration up to the Default Exemption value will result in no Employer Health Tax calculation.
• Once the remuneration exceeds the Default Exemption, the Employer Health Tax will start calculating at the provincial Default Rate.
• If amounts are over $500,000 then double check the exemptions / rates since they will need to be manually updated.

Manual rates (Override default)

By creating a new Tax Record for Canadian Employer Health Taxes for the provinces of Ontario [ON EHT ER], Manitoba [MB HELEVY ER], and British Columbia [BC EHT ER], this will override the automated logic.

Note: The province of Newfoundland and Labrador [NL HAPSET ER] rate will always default to the automated logic). Creating a new record mid-year is not retroactively applied.
