Deductions at Source of Additional Income Tax for Employees

Estimating the Amount to Deduct as Additional Federal or Quebec Income Tax

To estimate the amount of additional tax to be deducted if you are currently working in a province other than that in which you reside or you had other taxable income from sources other than your employer which you continue to receive, you should base your estimate on the amount of money you owed the previous year upon the filing of your income tax return. Divide this amount by the number of pay periods remaining in the current year.

To estimate the amount of additional tax to be deducted if your place of employment changes during the current year to a province other than that in which you reside, you should compare the amount of tax that was deducted on your pay stub that was issued prior to working in the new province of employment to the amount of tax that was deducted on your pay stub while working in the new province of employment. If the new tax deduction amount is less than the previous tax deduction amount, you may wish to request that an additional amount of income tax be withheld.

Any request for information regarding the foregoing should be addressed to your Compensation Advisor.
