質問 # 24
Which of the following company-compulsory deductions would reduce the employee's gross taxable income for purposes of withholding income taxes?
- A. All of the above
- B. Employee payment of provincial health care plan premiums
- C. Employee payment of a portion of group benefit plan premiums
- D. Employee contributions to a group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
正解:D
解説:
For payroll withholding, income tax is calculated on taxable income for the pay period, so only deductions that are income-tax deductible (or otherwise reduce taxable income at source) will reduce the employee's taxable base for withholding. Employee contributions to an RRSP are generally deductible for the employee, which is why payroll-deducted RRSP contributions (such as contributions to a group RRSP taken off the paycheque) reduce the amount of income tax withheld when the payroll system is set up to treat them as deductible contributions. The CRA confirms that deductible RRSP contributions can be used to reduce your tax.
By contrast, paying provincial health care premiums (where applicable) and paying an employee share of group benefit plan premiums are not automatic "reduce taxable income at source" deductions in the same way for payroll withholding; they may be personal expenses and, depending on the plan/premium type, may only affect the employee's personal tax situation through credits/deductions when filing, not the standard payroll withholding base. Therefore, the only correct choice is A.
質問 # 25
Which statutory deductions is salary continuance subject to?
- A. All deductions except Employment Insurance and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- B. All deductions except Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums
- C. All deductions
- D. All deductions except Employment Insurance premiums
正解:C
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 # 26
The authorization for hiring form should contain a checklist to ensure the organization obtains all required information. What is an example of an item that could be on that checklist?
- A. A confidentiality agreement
- B. Consent to withhold statutory deductions
- C. A clearance certificate
- D. A completed T1213
正解:A
解説:
A hiring authorization package/checklist typically ensures the organization collects the documents needed to onboard the employee and set them up correctly in payroll and HR systems. This often includes items like an offer letter, signed policies, banking details for direct deposit, emergency contacts, and required HR/legal acknowledgements. A confidentiality agreement is a common onboarding document because it protects the employer's confidential information and can be required regardless of payroll deductions.
The other options are not good examples of "required information" for all new hires. Employees do not give
"consent" for statutory deductions-deductions like CPP, EI, and income tax withholding are required by law and employers must withhold them when applicable. A "clearance certificate" is not a standard universal onboarding requirement for payroll in Canada. A T1213 is only completed in special situations where an employee requests CRA authorization to reduce tax withheld at source; it is not something most new hires must provide.
質問 # 27
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. $7,250.00
- B. $2,000.00
- C. $5,000.00
- D. $1,000.00
正解:B
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 # 28
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. Ontario
- B. Yukon
- C. British Columbia
- D. Quebec
正解:D
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 # 29
Paula is granted a pay increase. The paperwork informing the payroll department of the pay increase is two pay periods late. What method would be used to calculate income taxes on the separate retroactive payment?
- A. Tax table method
- B. Retroactive tax method
- C. Lump-sum tax method
- D. Bonus tax method
正解:B
解説:
A payment made to "catch up" wages because a pay increase was processed late is a retroactive payment. The CRA provides different income tax calculation approaches depending on the payment type and specifically lists "Retroactive payments" as its own category, separate from regular tax-table calculations, lump-sum, and bonus/irregular methods.
For bonuses and retroactive pay increases, the CRA also points employers to the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator (PDOC) to calculate CPP, EI, and income tax correctly, which aligns with using the appropriate CRA method for retroactive amounts.
Because this situation is explicitly a retroactive adjustment (two pay periods late), the correct choice is the Retroactive tax method (option C), not the bonus/irregular method, not the lump-sum method, and not the regular tax tables.
質問 # 30
Phan was employed fromMarch 1, 1992throughJanuary 10, 2007. He was not a member of the organization' s pension plan. Calculate the number of years eligible for the$1,500.00portion of a retiring allowance.
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
正解:A
解説:
The special$1,500transfer eligibility connected to retiring allowances is based specifically onyears (or part- years) of service before 1989where the employee hadno vested employer pension/DPSP benefitsfor those years. CRA explains that, in addition to the $2,000-per-year pre-1996 rule, you can also transfer an additional
$1,500 for each year or part-year before 1989that meets the vesting condition.
Phan's employment began in1992, which isafter 1989. Because he haszeroservice before 1989, there areno years that can qualify for the $1,500 portion-regardless of whether he belonged to a pension plan.
Therefore, the number of eligible years for the$1,500component is0(option A). Payroll must base this calculation on actual service dates, including any related-employer service if applicable, but here the start date alone makes the $1,500 portion ineligible.
質問 # 31
Raminder was hired in January 1997. He was fully vested in the organization's pension plan at the time he received the retiring allowance. His employment was terminated on May 1, 2006 and he was paid a
$10,000.00 retiring allowance. Calculate the eligible portion of the retiring allowance.
- A. $2,000.00
- B. $7,500.00
- C. $10,000.00
- D. None of the retiring allowance is eligible
正解:D
解説:
The "eligible portion" of a retiring allowance (the part that may be transferred directly to an RRSP/RPP on a tax-deferred basis without using regular RRSP room) is based on years of service before 1996 (and potentially an additional amount for certain pre-1989 years). CRA explains that the eligible part is: $2,000 for each year or part-year of service before 1996, plus an additional $1,500 for each year or part-year of service before 1989 only if no employer-funded pension/DPSP benefits for those years were vested (or previously paid out).
Raminder was hired in January 1997, so he has zero years (or part-years) of service before 1996, and therefore he has no base eligible amount under the $2,000-per-year rule. Because he also has no pre-1989 service, the additional $1,500-per-year rule does not apply either.
So, the eligible portion is $0, meaning none of the $10,000 retiring allowance is eligible (option D).
質問 # 32
A retiring allowance includes:
- A. Vacation pay
- B. Payments in recognition of long service
- C. Bonus or incentive pay
- D. Accumulated overtime
正解:B
解説:
The CRA defines a retiring allowance (also called severance pay) as an amount paid to an employee when or after they retire or lose their job, in recognition of long service or for the loss of office or employment. This matches option A.
The other options are specifically not retiring allowances under CRA guidance. The CRA states a retiring allowance does not include salary, wages, bonuses, or overtime, which rules out bonus or incentive pay and accumulated overtime. The CRA also states it does not include payments for accumulated vacation leave not taken before retirement, which rules out vacation pay.
This classification matters in payroll because retiring allowances have distinct rules: for example, they are not subject to CPP or EI deductions, and part of a retiring allowance may be eligible for direct transfer to an RRSP
/RPP under special rules (based on pre-1996 service).
質問 # 33
Which of the following types of payments made by a private organization would not be subject to all statutory deductions?
- A. Performance bonus
- B. Retroactive adjustment
- C. Vacation pay when no time was taken
- D. Directors' fees
正解:D
解説:
The payment type most clearly not subject to all statutory deductions is directors' fees. CRA guidance on directors' fees shows they are treated as a special payment with distinct deduction rules, and (depending on the situation) they may not have CPP, EI, and income tax all apply in the same way as normal employment earnings.
By contrast, retroactive adjustments and performance bonuses are treated as taxable remuneration where CRA' s tools (like PDOC) calculate CPP contributions, EI premiums, and income tax on those payments (up to annual maximums).
"Vacation pay when no time was taken" is also treated as a non-periodic payment and is included in CRA payroll deduction formulas as a type of amount on which statutory deductions are calculated (again, subject to annual maximums for CPP/EI).
So, among the options listed, directors' fees are the one that would not necessarily be subject to all statutory deductions in the standard way.
質問 # 34
A retiring allowance includes:
- A. Vacation pay
- B. Bonus or incentive pay
- C. None of the above
- D. Accumulated overtime
- E. Legislated wages in lieu of notice in Quebec
正解:C
解説:
The CRA defines a retiring allowance (also called severance pay) as an amount paid when or after an employee retires or loses their job, in recognition of long service or for the loss of employment.
However, the CRA is also explicit about what a retiring allowance does not include. It does not include
"salary, wages, bonuses, [or] overtime," which rules out bonus/incentive pay and accumulated overtime in the options. It also does not include "payments for accumulated vacation leave not taken," which rules out vacation pay as a retiring allowance. Finally, it does not include wages in lieu of termination notice, which rules out wages in lieu (including legislated notice pay) as a retiring allowance.
Because every listed item is specifically excluded by CRA guidance, the correct answer is None of the above (E).
質問 # 35
Select the correct order of priority for withholding payroll deductions from an employee's earnings.
- A. Company-compulsory deductions, union deductions, statutory deductions, legal deductions, voluntary deductions
- B. Statutory deductions, union deductions, legal deductions, company-compulsory deductions, voluntary deductions
- C. Statutory deductions, legal deductions, union deductions, company-compulsory deductions, voluntary deductions
- D. Union deductions, statutory deductions, legal deductions, company-compulsory deductions, voluntary deductions
正解:C
解説:
Payroll deductions are typically applied in a priority order to ensure the employer meets mandatory legal obligations first and avoids creating liability. Standard Canadian payroll training materials commonly present five categories withheld in this order: (1) statutory deductions, (2) legal deductions, (3) union deductions, (4) company-compulsory deductions, and (5) voluntary deductions.
Statutory deductions (CPP/QPP, EI, income tax, and where applicable NWT/Nunavut payroll tax) have top priority because employers are legally required to deduct and remit them.
Legal deductions (such as CRA requirements to pay/garnishments) are next because they are enforced by law and can create employer liability if not followed.
Union deductions follow where required by a collective agreement.
Company-compulsory deductions (for example, required benefit premiums) come after those.
Voluntary deductions (charity, savings plans, etc.) are last and only taken if funds remain.
Therefore, option D is the correct order.
質問 # 36
Which of the following types of earnings are not considered income from employment?
- A. Vacation pay
- B. Commissions
- C. Regular salary
- D. Severance pay
正解:D
解説:
Regular salary, vacation pay, and commissions are generally treated as income from employment because they are amounts paid for services performed during employment. In contrast, what many people call
"severance pay" is often classified by the CRA as a retiring allowance-an amount paid when or after an employee retires or loses their job, in recognition of long service or for the loss of employment.
This distinction matters in payroll because a retiring allowance has its own rules for withholding and potential RRSP/RPP transfer eligibility, and it is not treated the same way as normal employment income earned while actively employed. CRA technical guidance also draws lines between amounts that are employment income versus retiring allowance depending on the nature/timing of the payment.
So, among the options listed, severance pay (when it is a retiring allowance) is the one that is not considered income from employment in the way salary/vacation pay/commissions are.
質問 # 37
Phillip is being paid a severance payment with his final pay. Which block should this payment be reported on the Record of Employment?
- A. Blocks 15B and 17C
- B. Block 15B only
- C. Block 17C only
- D. Block 15C only
正解:C
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 # 38
An interruption of earnings occurs when there is a period of how many days with no insurable earnings?
- A. Seven business days
- B. Five business days
- C. Seven calendar days
- D. Five calendar 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 # 39
The formula for calculating net pay is:
- A. Gross earnings minus total deductions
- B. Gross earnings minus total tax
- C. Pensionable earnings minus total deductions
- D. Net taxable income minus total deductions
正解:A
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 # 40
A death benefit is a:
- A. Life insurance payment made by an insurance company on the death of an employee
- B. Payment made by an employer of vacation pay owing to an employee on their death
- C. Payment made by an employer of any outstanding earnings to an employee on their death
- D. Discretionary payment made by an employer on the death of an employee, in recognition of the employee's service
正解:D
解説:
The CRA defines a death benefit as the gross amount of any payment made on or after the death of an employee to recognize the employee's service in an office or employment. It can be paid to a surviving spouse
/common-law partner, heir, or the estate.
This is different from amounts the employee already earned before death (for example, regular wages up to the date of death, or vacation pay that was accrued/earned). CRA guidance treats wages and employment income earned up to and including the date of death as amounts to be reported on a T4 slip, not as a death benefit.
It's also different from a life insurance payout from an insurer (which is not an employer-paid "death benefit" for payroll reporting purposes). The payroll impact is that a qualifying death benefit is generally reported as a special payment (often on a T4A), following CRA rules for deductions and reporting of death benefits.
質問 # 41
Alyssa is a member of her employer's Defined Contribution Pension Plan. The plan defines the contribution as 3% of the employee's pensionable earnings, with the employer matching the employee's contribution.
Alyssa's pensionable earnings are $3,400.00 per month. Calculate the total payment to be remitted to Alyssa's Defined Contribution Pension Plan each month.
正解:
解説:
$204.00 per month
Explanation:
In a Defined Contribution (DC) pension plan, contributions are calculated as a set percentage of the employee' s pensionable earnings, and the total remittance is usually the sum of the employee deduction plus the employer's matching contribution, based on the plan text. Here, the plan states the employee contributes 3% of pensionable earnings, and the employer matches the employee contribution.
Step 1: Calculate the employee's pension contribution:
3% × $3,400.00 = 0.03 × 3,400.00 = $102.00.
Step 2: Calculate the employer match:
Because the employer matches the employee contribution, the employer contributes $102.00 as well.
Step 3: Total remittance to the plan:
$102.00 (employee) + $102.00 (employer) = $204.00 each month.
From a payroll processing perspective, the employee amount is withheld from gross pay as a payroll deduction according to plan rules, while the employer match is recorded as an employer expense. Payroll remits both amounts to the plan administrator following the plan's remittance schedule, and should reconcile pensionable earnings and contributions to ensure accuracy and compliance with plan terms.
質問 # 42
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 # 43
Which of the following deductions would be the last payroll withholding in order of priority?
- A. Third Party Demand
- B. Voluntary insurance coverage
- C. The organization's pension plan
- D. Requirement to Pay
正解:B
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 # 44
Expense reimbursements are:
- A. Dollar amounts paid to employees for the use of their personal property for business purposes
- B. Values attributed to something the employer has either provided to an employee or paid for on an employee's behalf
- C. Dollar amounts the employer pays for the work an employee performs
- D. Dollar amounts paid to employees to cover expenses that they incur while performing their job
正解:D
解説:
An expense reimbursement is paid to repay an employee for actual business expenses the employee incurred while performing their job (for example, meals while travelling on business, supplies purchased for work, etc.). CRA's taxable benefits guidance distinguishes reimbursements from allowances: an allowance is usually a predetermined amount paid without the employee having to support the expense with receipts, while a reimbursement is tied to actual costs.
That distinction matters because reimbursements are generally not compensation for work performed (so they are not "earnings"), and they are not "benefits" in the sense of a good or service provided by the employer (though CRA notes that benefits can include reimbursements of personal expenses-so payroll must still ensure the reimbursement is for business use and properly supported).
Option A correctly describes reimbursements. Option B is typically an allowance (for example, a vehicle allowance for using personal property). Option C describes earnings (wages/salary). Option D describes benefits (value of something provided or paid for on the employee's behalf).
