Payroll in Nova Scotia
Built for how Nova Scotia firms work
Nova Scotia accountants handle seasonal tourism, fishing and hospitality payrolls alongside year-round professional firms.
BooksAuto keeps every client in its own company, with its own pay frequency, remitter type and cheque numbers. When the client is in Nova Scotia, BooksAuto applies the CRA's Nova Scotia income tax tables and TD1NS claim amounts automatically — alongside federal tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI — and shows the math behind every cheque.
When the run is approved, you get pay stubs, cheques on your own stock or a CPA-005 direct deposit file, the payroll register and the PD7A amount with its due date. At year-end, T4 slips and the T4 Summary are exported as CRA-ready XML, and ROEs go to ROE Web.
