CRA issues T4A printing instructions
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is advising employers that downloaded the 2010 version of its T4A slip, Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity and Other Income, to not use the scaling option on their printer settings to print copies of the form. If the scaling option is used when printing the slips, the recipient’s social insurance number could be visible through the window in a standard envelope, it said.
CRA stops paper tables
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is no longer publishing a paper version of its Payroll Deductions Supplementary Tables (T4008). Effective with the Jan. 1, 2011, edition, the publication is only available online. The CRA also notes this is the last year it will publish a paper version of the Payroll Deductions Tables (T4032). Beginning with the Jan. 1, 2012, edition, the T4032 will also only be available online. Payroll practitioners can save the online versions to a computer or print specific pages. The CRA encourages payroll practitioners to use its Payroll Deductions Online Calculator instead.
