Health (EHT, Provincial Health Tax) - (Payroll Tab)

This screen is optional - If your province/region does not support a payroll-funded provincial health plan, you can skip this screen.

Use this screen to enter your company's Provincial Health rates (if applicable in your region). Only several Canadian provinces have a provincially-regulated health plan that is funded by payroll tax levies. Provinces and territories may determine how to finance health insurance plans. Financing can be through the payment of premiums (employer and/or employee), payroll taxes, sales taxes, other provincial or territorial revenues, or by a combination of methods. Please review your province's provincial health regulations in order to obtain the necessary information to complete this screen.
