質問 # 20
Phillip is being paid a severance payment with his final pay. Which block should this payment be reported on the Record of Employment?
- A. Block 15B only
- B. Block 17C only
- C. Blocks 15B and 17C
- D. Block 15C only
正解：B
解説：
On the ROE, separation payments are reported in Block 17. Service Canada explains that Block 17C - Other monies is used to record "any other payments or benefits...paid...because of the separation," whether or not they are insurable.
The ROE Guide specifically lists "Severance pay" as a type of separation money to enter in Block 17C ("Enter 'Severance pay' and the amount").
Crucially, Block 15B and Block 15C are for insurable earnings totals/by pay period. The ROE Guide notes that some amounts reported in Block 17 (like vacation pay) are insurable and must be added into Blocks 15B
/15C; however, retirement leave credits/retiring allowances (a form of severance-type payment) are not insurable and are not added to Blocks 15B/15C even though they are recorded in Block 17C.
So, severance is reported in Block 17C only.
質問 # 21
Which of the following deductions would be the last payroll withholding in order of priority?
- A. Voluntary insurance coverage
- B. Requirement to Pay
- C. Third Party Demand
- D. The organization's pension plan
正解：A
解説：
In payroll, deductions are applied in a priority order so employers satisfy mandatory legal obligations first.
CRA collection tools such as a Requirement to Pay (RTP) and a Demand on a Third Party (DTP) are legal
/garnishment-type deductions. CRA explains that a Requirement to Pay directs a third party (often the employer) to send amounts otherwise payable to the employee to the CRA, and the employer must comply.
Company pension contributions (where participation is required as a condition of employment or under a plan
/collective agreement) are generally company-compulsory deductions-important, but they come after statutory and legal deductions. Voluntary insurance coverage is a classic voluntary deduction (the employee chooses it; it is not legally required). Voluntary deductions are normally taken last because they must not interfere with statutory/legal withholding obligations.
So among the options, voluntary insurance coverage is the one that would be withheld last in the order of priority.
質問 # 22
When would a Record of Employment be issued for an employee paid mainly by commission?
- A. When the employee has had seven consecutive calendar days without both work and insurable earnings
- B. An employee mainly paid by commission is not entitled to receive a Record of Employment
- C. When the employment relationship has been severed
- D. When the employee has not earned any commission after six months
正解：C
解説：
Commission employees have a specific ROE rule. Service Canada's ROE Guide explains that for employees whose earnings consist mainly of commissions, an interruption of earnings occurs only when the employment contract is terminated-unless the employee stops working due to specified EI-related reasons such as illness
/injury/quarantine, maternity/pregnancy, parental leave, or compassionate care/family caregiver leaves.
This means the usual 7-day rule (7 consecutive days with no work and no insurable earnings) generally does not trigger an interruption of earnings for mainly-commission employees as long as the contract continues. In other words, if the employee stops working for reasons like vacation or a leave of absence but remains under contract, Service Canada indicates there is no interruption of earnings and therefore no ROE is issued just because of time without commissions/work.
So the correct choice is when the employment relationship/contract is terminated (option C).
質問 # 23
Michael is an employee in Alberta who is paid bi-weekly and earns $1,600.00 per pay period. He has a taxable meal allowance of $30.00 per pay period. His federal and provincial TD1s on file show a claim code
2. Michael already reached the annual maximum first and second Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions before this pay. Calculate his total federal and provincial income taxes.
正解：
解説：
(total federal + Alberta tax): $173.48
Explanation:
Taxable gross for the period = $1,600.00 + $30.00 = $1,630.00 (a taxable allowance is included in income for tax withholding).
Using CRA T4032-AB (Biweekly, 26 pay periods) with claim code 2:
Federal tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,619-$1,635 range # CC2 = $107.35.
Alberta provincial tax at pay $1,630 falls in the $1,628-$1,644 range # CC2 = $46.55.
Subtotal tax from the tables = $107.35 + $46.55 = $153.90.
CRA notes these tax tables build in the tax credits for CPP/EI, so when CPP is not deducted (because annual max already reached), you must increase tax withholding accordingly.
CPP that would have been deducted this pay (using CRA rates/YBE):
Pensionable = $1,630 # ($3,500/26 = $134.62) = $1,495.38; CPP (4.95% + 1.00% = 5.95%) = $88.98.
Add back missing credits: Federal 14% × 88.98 = $12.46; Alberta 8% × 88.98 = $7.12 # total $19.58.
Final total tax = $153.90 + $19.58 = $173.48.
質問 # 24
An employee in Ontario was paid a $25,000.00 retiring allowance. The eligible portion was $15,000.00 and was transferred to the employee's Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) by the employer. Calculate the income tax on the non-eligible portion.
- A. $2,000.00
- B. $5,000.00
- C. $1,000.00
- D. $7,250.00
正解：A
解説：
A retiring allowance is treated as a lump-sum payment for payroll withholding purposes. When part of a retiring allowance is transferred directly to an RRSP/RPP, CRA guidance indicates you do not withhold income tax on the transferred amount (up to the employee's available limit), because it is not paid to the employee in cash.
Step 1: Determine the portion paid directly to the employee (non-eligible portion):
$25,000 # $15,000 transferred to RRSP = $10,000 paid/remaining.
Step 2: Apply CRA lump-sum withholding rates (outside Quebec):
For total lump-sum payments $5,001 to $15,000, the withholding rate is 20%.
Step 3: Calculate tax to withhold on $10,000:
$10,000 × 20% = $2,000.00.
So the correct option is B ($2,000.00).
質問 # 25
Benefits are:
- A. Dollar amounts paid to employees for the use of their personal property for business purposes
- B. Dollar amounts the employer pays for the work an employee performs
- C. Values attributed to something the employer has either provided to an employee or paid for on an employee's behalf
- D. Dollar amounts paid to employees to cover expenses that they incur while performing their job
正解：C
解説：
In Canadian payroll, a benefit generally means the employer has provided something of value to the employee (or paid for something on the employee's behalf), rather than paying cash for work performed. The CRA's Employers' Guide - Taxable Benefits and Allowances (T4130)explains that a benefit/allowance may be provided in cash (for example, an allowance) or in a manner other than cash (for example, a parking space or gift), and that employers may have to include the value of that benefit/allowance in the employee's income depending on the circumstances.
Option C best captures this "value of something provided or paid for" concept. Option B describes wages
/salary (earnings for work). Option A aligns more with reimbursements/expense coverage. Option D aligns with allowances for business use of personal property (often treated separately and may be taxable or non- taxable depending on CRA rules and documentation). Payroll's role is to determine whether the benefit is taxable, value it correctly, and apply the right statutory withholdings and reporting.
質問 # 26
Anne Massy works for Liberty Promotions in Nunavut and is provided with a company-leased automobile.
The automobile was in Anne's possession for 365 days. Of the 34,134 kilometres driven, 15,805 kilometres were for business purposes. The monthly lease cost of the vehicle was $198.60, excluding GST calculated at
5%. Anne requested in writing that Liberty Promotions use the optional operating cost method if all conditions apply. She did not reimburse the company for any of the expenses associated with the automobile.
Calculate Anne's annual automobile taxable benefit.
正解：
解説：
$7,900.10
Explanation:
Anne has both an automobile standby charge (because the car was made available) and an operating expense benefit (because the employer paid operating costs and she did not reimburse).
1) Standby charge (leased auto): Lease cost for standby charge purposes includes GST and excludes insurance.
Monthly lease incl. GST = $198.60 × 1.05 = $208.53.
Standby charge per month = 2/3 × $208.53 = $139.02.
Days available ÷ 30 = 365 ÷ 30 = 12.17, rounded to 12.
Annual standby charge = $139.02 × 12 = $1,668.24.
2) Operating expense benefit: Personal km = 34,134 # 15,805 = 18,329.
Optional method requires the automobile be used primarily (>50%) for business; Anne's business use is under
50%, so the optional method does not apply and the fixed rate must be used.
Fixed rate (2026) = $0.34/km # 18,329 × 0.34 = $6,231.86.
Total taxable benefit = $1,668.24 + $6,231.86 = $7,900.10.
質問 # 27
Elodie is paid her commissions together with her bi-weekly salary of $1,000.00. This pay period her commissions are $4,300.00. Calculate her Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) contribution for this pay period.
正解：
解説：
$325.42
Explanation:
Because Elodie is subject to QPP, her pensionable earnings for the pay period include both salary and commissions (both are pensionable employment earnings, assuming no exemptions apply). First, determine total pensionable earnings for the bi-weekly pay:
$1,000.00 + $4,300.00 = $5,300.00.
For 2026, Revenu Quebec shows the QPP basic exemption is $3,500 annually and the (employee) QPP contribution rate on earnings up to the maximum pensionable earnings is 6.30%.
Payroll applies the exemption per pay period. For bi-weekly pay (26 pay periods):
$3,500 ÷ 26 = $134.62 (rounded to cents).
Pensionable earnings subject to QPP this pay:
$5,300.00 # $134.62 = $5,165.38.
QPP contribution:
$5,165.38 × 6.30% = $5,165.38 × 0.063 = $325.41894, which rounds to $325.42.
質問 # 28
An interruption of earnings occurs when there is a period of how many days with no insurable earnings?
- A. Seven business days
- B. Five calendar days
- C. Seven calendar days
- D. Five business days
正解：C
解説：
Service Canada's ROE Guide defines an interruption of earnings under the "7-day rule." It occurs when an employee has had, or is expected to have, 7 consecutive calendar days with no work and no insurable earnings from the employer.
This is specifically calendar days, not business days. That means weekends and holidays count in the seven- day sequence. The rule commonly applies when employees quit, are laid off, or are terminated, and it helps determine when an employer must issue an ROE (subject to certain listed exceptions and special situations, such as some employees with non-standard work patterns or employees mainly paid by commission).
From a payroll operations standpoint, correctly identifying the interruption of earnings is critical because it triggers ROE deadlines and affects the employee's ability to access EI benefits without delay. So the correct answer is Seven calendar days (option D).
質問 # 29
Steve is physically disabled and his employer pays for his parking spot. This is considered:
- A. A cash taxable benefit
- B. A taxable allowance
- C. None of the above
- D. A non-cash taxable benefit
正解：C
解説：
Employer-provided parking is often a taxable benefit, generally valued at the fair market value of the parking spot. However, the CRA provides a specific exception for employees with disabilities. CRA guidance on employer-provided parking states that if your employee has a disability, the parking benefit is generally not taxable, including situations involving a severe and prolonged mobility impairment or blindness.
In Steve's case, the fact pattern explicitly says he is physically disabled and the employer pays for his parking.
Under CRA's general rule for disability-related parking, this would generally not be included in income as a taxable benefit, meaning it is not a taxable allowance and not a taxable benefit (cash or non-cash) for payroll purposes.
Payroll should still document why the parking is being treated as non-taxable (for example, disability-related need) and ensure the treatment aligns with CRA guidance if questioned. If the facts were different (non- disability parking or preferential parking provided to employees generally), the taxable benefit rules would usually apply.
質問 # 30
Which statutory deductions is salary continuance subject to?
- A. All deductions except Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- B. All deductions except Employment Insurance premiums
- C. All deductions except Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- D. All deductions
正解：D
解説：
Salary continuance means the employee continues to receive regular pay (and often benefits) for a period after their job ends. In this arrangement, the payments are treated like regular employment income for payroll purposes, so the usual payroll deductions apply. A Government of Canada guidance page explains that when severance is paid as salary continuance, the employee pays income tax like regular employment income and that the usual deductions apply, including CPP (or QPP), EI premiums, and RPP contributions (where applicable).
This aligns with standard payroll obligations in CRA's payroll remittance framework: employers deduct and remit CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on employment income unless a specific exemption applies.
Therefore, the correct option is B (All deductions)-and in Quebec, that "all deductions" concept includes Quebec-specific programs (for example QPP/QPIP where applicable) based on the employee's province of employment and insurability rules.
質問 # 31
Matt earns $10.10 per hour and works 37.5 hours per week. Calculate Matt's regular bi-weekly earnings.
正解：
解説：
$757.50
Explanation:
Regular earnings for an hourly employee are calculated as hourly rate × hours worked. Because "bi-weekly" means two weeks of work paid together, you calculate one week's regular earnings and then multiply by two (assuming the hours are the same each week and there is no overtime premium indicated).
Step 1: Weekly regular earnings:
$10.10 × 37.5 hours = $10.10 × 37 + $10.10 × 0.5
= $373.70 + $5.05
= $378.75.
Step 2: Bi-weekly regular earnings (2 weeks):
$378.75 × 2 = $757.50.
So Matt's regular bi-weekly earnings are $757.50.
In payroll documentation, "regular earnings" are the employee's base wages before statutory deductions (CPP
/QPP, EI, income tax) and before other deductions, and they exclude any separately calculated earnings like overtime premiums or taxable benefits unless stated. This approach (rate × hours, then adjust for pay period) is the standard method used to compute gross/regular pay for hourly employees before moving on to deductions and net pay.
質問 # 32
The formula for calculating net pay is:
- A. Pensionable earnings minus total deductions
- B. Gross earnings minus total deductions
- C. Gross earnings minus total tax
- D. Net taxable income minus total deductions
正解：B
解説：
Net pay (often called "take-home pay") is what the employee actually receives after all withholdings and other deductions are taken from their earnings. In Canadian payroll practice, the starting point is gross earnings (regular wages plus any taxable amounts that must be included in income). From gross earnings, payroll subtracts total deductions, which include statutory deductions (such as CPP/QPP, EI, and income tax) and any authorized non-statutory deductions (for example, union dues, benefits premiums, pension contributions, or garnishments where applicable). This is why the most accurate generic formula is gross earnings # total deductions. CRA payroll guidance reflects this structure by requiring employers to calculate gross pay, determine the correct statutory deductions, and then arrive at the amount paid to the employee after those deductions are withheld and remitted.
Options C and D are incomplete or incorrect because "total tax" is only one part of deductions, and "net taxable income" is not a payroll calculation base in the way the question frames it. Option A is also incorrect because "pensionable earnings" is only relevant to CPP/QPP calculations, not the overall net pay formula.
質問 # 33
Evangeline earns $1,075.00 weekly plus $154.00 in overtime. Calculate Evangeline's Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) premium.
正解：
解説：
$5.28 (employee QPIP premium for the week)
Explanation:
QPIP premiums are calculated on an employee's insurable earnings in Quebec (up to the annual maximum insurable earnings). For 2026, Revenu Quebec shows the employee QPIP premium rate is 0.430% (0.00430) and the maximum insurable earnings are $103,000.
Step 1: Determine Evangeline's weekly insurable earnings (assuming all earnings are QPIP-insurable and the annual maximum will not be exceeded, as the question implies):
Regular earnings $1,075.00 + overtime $154.00 = $1,229.00.
Step 2: Apply the employee QPIP rate:
$1,229.00 × 0.430% = $1,229.00 × 0.00430 = $5.2847.
Step 3: Round to cents (standard payroll practice): $5.28.
Payroll would deduct $5.28 from Evangeline's pay for QPIP for that week and remit it along with other source deductions as required. The deduction continues until the employee reaches the annual QPIP maximum premium (based on the annual insurable earnings limit).
質問 # 34
In which province or territory is the employer-paid premium for private health insurance coverage that includes dental and prescription coverage considered to be a non-cash taxable benefit?
- A. Quebec
- B. British Columbia
- C. Ontario
- D. Yukon
正解：A
解説：
In Quebec, employer-paid premiums (contributions) to a group insurance plan, including a private health services plan (which commonly covers items like dental and prescription drugs), are treated as a taxable benefit for the employee for Quebec purposes. Revenu Quebec explicitly states that contributions (premiums) an employer pays under a group insurance plan for coverage received by an employee constitute a taxable benefit.
Because the employer is paying the premium directly to the insurer (the employee receives coverage rather than cash), this is treated as a non-cash taxable benefit in payroll classification terms. The payroll impact is that this taxable benefit must be included in the employee's Quebec taxable income and reported on the RL-1 (and handled according to Quebec source deduction rules).
Outside Quebec, employer-paid health/dental plan premiums are generally not treated the same way for provincial taxable benefit purposes, which is why the correct answer among the options is Quebec.
質問 # 35
Ursula is 17 years old, works in Quebec and earns $750.00 weekly. Ursula pays weekly union dues of $18.00 along with a special weekly union assessment of $10.00 for construction of a new union hall for its members.
Ursula also has registered pension plan (RPP) contributions of $20.00 deducted from each pay. Calculate Ursula's net federal taxable income.
正解：
解説：
$712.00
Explanation:
For payroll income tax purposes, net taxable income starts with the employee's gross taxable income and then subtracts only those deductions that are deductible for income tax and can be recognized at source. CRA payroll guidance shows this approach by subtracting items such as RPP contributions and union dues when determining net taxable income for calculating income tax deductions.
Gross taxable income (weekly): $750.00.
RPP contributions are deductible (the amounts reported from box 20 of the T4 are generally deductible).
Regular union dues are deductible; however, the CRA states that deductible annual union/professional dues do not include special assessments or charges for anything other than ordinary operating costs. A levy specifically for constructing a new union hall is a special assessment, so it is not deductible as union dues.
So the deductions that reduce federal taxable income here are: $18.00 (union dues) + $20.00 (RPP) = $38.00.
Net federal taxable income = $750.00 # $38.00 = $712.00.

解説：
See the Explanation part for answer for each step.
Explanation:
Step 1 - Gross Taxable Earnings (GTE)
Salary per pay: 49,500 ÷ 24 = $2,062.50
Taxable car allowance: $50.00
Group term life taxable benefit:
Coverage = 2 × 49,500 = 99,000
Monthly premium = (99,000 ÷ 1,000) × 0.62 = 99 × 0.62 = 61.38
Semi-monthly benefit = 61.38 ÷ 2 = $30.69
GTE = $2,143.19
Step 2 - Pensionable Earnings (PE)
PE = $2,112.50 (2,062.50 + 50.00)
Step 3 - Insurable Earnings (IE)
IE = $2,112.50
Step 4 - Net Taxable Income (CRA) (NTI)
RPP = 5% × 2,062.50 = $103.13
Union dues = 2% × 2,062.50 = $41.25
NTI (CRA) = 2,143.19 # 103.13 # 41.25 = $1,998.81
Step 5 - Net Taxable Income (RQ)
$0.00
Step 6 - CPP (base CPP)
Period exemption = 3,500 ÷ 24 = $145.83
Contributory = 2,112.50 # 145.83 = $1,966.67
CPP = 1,966.67 × 5.95% = $117.02
CPP = $117.02
Step 6B - 2nd CPP (CPP2)
CPP2 = $0.00
Step 7 - EI premium
EI = 2,112.50 × 1.63% = $34.43
EI = $34.43
Step 8 - QPIP
$0.00
Step 9 - Federal income tax (CC1, semi-monthly)
$156.10
Step 10 - Alberta income tax (CC1, semi-monthly)
$73.20
Step 11 - Total deductions
Statutory: 117.02 + 34.43 + 156.10 + 73.20 = $380.75
Other: RPP 103.13 + Union 41.25 + United Way 20.00 + Social club 5.00 = $169.38 Total deductions = $550.13 Step 12 - Net pay Cash pay (salary + car allowance) = 2,062.50 + 50.00 = $2,112.50 Net pay = 2,112.50 # 550.13 = $1,562.37
