Employee payroll tax exemptions
by Intuit• Updated 2 months ago
Some employees may be exempt from certain payroll taxes. When exempt from a tax, an employee is not required to contribute to that specific tax.
In QuickBooks Payroll, you can set up each employee as exempt from Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), or Federal Income Tax. Consult with a tax professional or financial advisor if you are not sure if an employee should be exempt from certain taxes.
