Whether you are a student, shareholder, employee or employer you will receive T4, T4A and T5 salary slips. Most of you should know these characters, however, readers may not be fully aware of their intentions. So, let’s point out one thing at the beginning that all three of these slips are used to complete your tax return. All three slips are different. But their details should always be included in the tax software to complete your tax return.
So, what is the difference between these three slips?
T4 Receipt:
The official name for this slide is T4 Statement of Runeration Paid. It means that if you worked elsewhere, you would get a T4 slip from your employer. The slip includes your annual income. It reports all types of income earned by the employer without deductions. If you have had many jobs throughout the year, you will receive a separate T4 slip from each employer.
The T4 slip includes your name, address and SIN number. In addition, the annual box shows the year you received the salary. The name and details of your employer will be discussed further. It is always recommended that you consult a tax professional or lease your professional income tax services before filing your income tax. Alternatively, you should always keep a check for the following boxes on the T4 slip.
• Box 14: Highlight the employer's annual salary
• Box 16: Shows from Canadian pension fund
• Box 18: Shows the annual Employment Insurance (EI) payment deducted from your salary and sent to the CRA
• Box 22: Highlight the amount of tax deducted from your annual income
• Box 44: If you are part of a union, it shows the amount paid to the union
• Box 46: Indicates any donations or charitable organizations
T4 A Slip:
The T4 A slip reports all forms of private income, pensions, bursaries or other income. It looks exactly like a T4 slip but is usually issued when the payment is over $ 500. If you are a student receiving a bursary fund, you may have received this slide. It will report the money you received while you registered with the institution. The receipt will set out your name, address and other details and details of the payer.
The most important things to note on your T4 slide are the following
• Box 20: Indicates independent commissions obtained during the year
• Box 22: Highlight the amount of annual tax deducted from your salary and send it to the CRA
• Box 105: Highlight any bursaries, partnerships or bursaries available to students at their institutions
T5 Slide:
T5 slip is issued to Canadian citizens for their various types of investments. It reports investment income, interest income or profits earned by Canadians. It means that all entrepreneurs must report their investors on the T5 slip to complete their tax returns.
Most business owners do not have the time to report their entire income to the company. Therefore, hiring a tax professional or corporate tax services to manage all your taxes is a matter of time. This will save you money from paying taxes.
When preparing, you should know these important boxes on your T5 slip.
• 10/24 box: This shows the share received from the company. The box number varies depending on the company from which you get the price.
• Box 11/25: Highlight the value of your benefits
• Box 13: Highlight interest rates you may have received from Canadian banks
• Box 27: State the amount received from all T5 income. It should always be converted into a national currency, the Canadian Dollar.
All three T4, T4 A and T5 slips represent your annual salary as an employee, through commission, interest or bursary fund. All slips are required to be included in your full tax return. In case you forget to paste any of these slides, the CRA will know. The CRA has a copy of these receipts to guide you with your tax return. Therefore, you should always prepare and complete your taxes professionally.
