Adjust remittances – all government agencies
Occasionally, adjustments may be required to address overpayments or underpayments involving the following Government agencies:
Region | Remittance Type |
Federal | CPP, EI, Income Tax |
Manitoba | Payroll Tax (HET) |
Newfoundland | Health Tax (HAPSET) |
Northwest Territories | Payroll Tax |
Nova Scotia | WCB Premiums |
Nunavut | Payroll Tax |
Ontario | Employer Health Tax (EHT) |
Quebec | QPP, QPIP, Provincial Tax, QHSF Medical and CSST |
The most common reasons are:
- Adjustments for an employee. For example:
- Transferring funds between BN#
- Province code changes
- An overpayment from a prior tax year
- Correcting payments for reduced EI rates
- An overpayment by the customer that duplicated premiums processed through payroll
- Tax amounts rejected from a pay run due to a missing or invalid tax number. I.e. The calculation on the employee pay stubs will occur however the remittance will not be processed to the respective authority.
Dayforce can make remittance adjustments to both Federal and Provincial agencies on behalf of the customer provided Dayforce currently makes remittances on their behalf and signed authorization is received from the customer. See Engaging CRA for further information. If your request originates from a letter received from CRA/RQ to reduce your next remittance, forward a copy of the letter to your Customer Support Team.
All adjustments will be processed against a future payment. If these amounts are for a prior remittance period and are past due, the customer will be responsible for any late penalty charges.
- The Ministry of Finance will not validate EHT credits directly with payroll providers. Since Dayforce is unable to validate a credit, we cannot reduce future EHT remittances for credits due. You are responsible to request a refund from the Ministry of Finance.
- Manitoba, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories usually issue refunds directly to customer.
- Remittance Adjustments will appear as a separate entry (line) on the Government Remittance Report after the adjustment is processed.
- Remittance Adjustments will not alter the year-to-date totals on the Payroll Register Summary for the current year. If you require an amendment to be made, contact your Customer Support Team.
