  2. Select Payroll Remittance from the left-hand menu.

  3. Enter the following information:
    • CRA Remittance payable card – Use the button to bring up the Accounts Payable Supplier window and chose CRA – Payroll or other appropriate account. Amounts due to Canada Revenue Agency such as Income Tax, CPP and EI will be held in this account until such time as you enter the withdrawal to record the payment to CRA.
    • Remittance frequency – Use the drop down list to pick the appropriate remittance frequency for your payments to CRA. Most businesses will use a Monthly remittance frequency but may use Weekly, Bi-monthly, Annually, Quarterly or Semi-monthly.
