Canadian payroll

Run payroll for a small Canadian team in AcboBooks: set up your payroll account and CRA remitter type, add employees with their TD1 claims, write paycheques with CPP, EI and income tax worked out from the CRA formulas, remit source deductions, and prepare T4 slips, the T4 Summary, the T4 XML and Records of Employment. A last lesson covers what AcboBooks does for Quebec employees. The lessons use the Canadian sample company, Bright Ideas Studio in Ontario. AcboBooks prepares the figures and files; you still remit and file.
