Bookkeeping Error

I have a bookkeeping service and have somehow missed paying CRA for paying payroll tax for Oct 2025.  I realized the error on the payment for November 2025 on Dec 15th   The penalty was 1028.00.  As this is my error am I responsible for paying for the penalty from my business.   All of November I felt quite under the weather and was frantically trying to finalize the Sept year end and to the Accountant by November 6th. for this same client   I did put in for a relief, but doubt it will be granted as I have do not have medical receipts.  Any kind of advice is great.

Thanks so much

I understand that this situation may be stressful, but you're already taking proactive steps to address the missed payment to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), lovers.

 

As you've mentioned, you have applied for penalty relief with the CRA, which is an essential first step in addressing the missed payment. This demonstrates your willingness to correct the situation and seek understanding from the agency.

 

With this, I recommend following up directly with the CRA after a few weeks. This follow-up can be crucial in ensuring your application is being processed. During this call, you can inquire about the current status of your relief application and, if necessary, offer any additional documentation or details that might support your request. It’s also an opportunity to explain your circumstances more thoroughly, which may help clarify your case and strengthen your position. 

 

In regard to the payment error for November 2025, I recommend that you contact our QuickBooks Payroll Live support team. This will enable them to review your account and provide you with detailed guidance on how to address this matter effectively.
