Payroll in Ontario
Built for how Ontario firms work
Ontario has more payroll clients than anywhere in Canada — firms in the GTA and beyond run dozens of payrolls every week.
BooksAuto keeps every client in its own company, with its own pay frequency, remitter type and cheque numbers. When the client is in Ontario, BooksAuto applies the CRA's Ontario income tax tables and TD1ON 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.
Ontario employers should also keep an eye on Employer Health Tax (EHT) for employers whose Ontario payroll is above the exemption; BooksAuto's year-to-date payroll totals make the figures easy to find.
