Complete Payroll Services in Toronto

Every payroll services package in Toronto covers the full cycle, from a new hire’s first TD1 to the final ROE when they leave.

Payroll Processing

  • Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly and monthly pay runs
  • New employee setup with federal and Ontario TD1 forms
  • Direct deposit and pay stubs every pay period
  • Overtime at 1.5 times pay after 44 hours a week, plus bonuses and commissions
  • Vacation pay at 4 percent, or 6 percent after five years, and pay for Ontario’s nine public holidays
  • Final pay for departing employees

Remittances and Year End Filings

  • WSIB premium reporting and payments
  • Ontario Employer Health Tax returns
  • T4 and T4A slips and summaries filed by the last day of February
  • ROEs filed with Service Canada within 5 days of the pay period end
  • Year end reconciliation of PD7A remittances against T4 totals
  • T5 slips for owner managers paid through dividends

How Our Payroll Process Works in Toronto?

Our payroll services in Toronto follow the same six steps for every client, from a startup’s first hire to a team of 50 across the GTA.

1. Payroll Review. We start with a free consultation covering your headcount, pay frequency, current payroll provider and CRA payroll account status.

2. CRA and WSIB Setup. New businesses get a CRA payroll program (RP) account and WSIB registration. Clients switching providers mid year have their year to date earnings carried over, so every T4 stays accurate.

3. Employee Onboarding. Each employee completes a federal TD1 and Ontario TD1ON, and we load their SIN, pay rate and direct deposit details into QuickBooks Online Payroll or Wagepoint.

4. Every Pay Run. You send hours and changes, we calculate gross to net pay, release direct deposits and pay stubs, and post the payroll entry to your books.

5. CRA Remittances. Source deductions go to CRA by the 15th of the following month for regular remitters, or on the twice monthly or weekly schedule for accelerated remitters.

6. Year End Filings. T4 and T4A slips go out by the last day of February, the Ontario EHT annual return by March 15, and your PD7A remittances are reconciled against T4 totals before CRA reviews them.

Payroll Account Services For Businesses in Toronto

Our payroll accounting services deliver complete payroll management for small business owners across Toronto. We handle wage calculations, benefit deductions, tax withholdings, and CRA remittances while maintaining accurate records that integrate with your bookkeeping and financial statements.

Every pay cycle includes detailed payroll statements for your business showing gross wages, deductions, employer contributions, and net payments. These statements provide clear documentation for your records, support financial reporting, and simplify year-end tax preparation.

Payroll Services for Toronto Industries

Our payroll services in Toronto adjust to the rules each industry carries. Restaurant payroll on King West and the Danforth starts with tips: controlled tips pooled and paid out by the employer attract CPP, EI and income tax, while tips paid directly by customers stay outside payroll deductions. Retail stores in Yorkville and around the Eaton Centre need pay for Ontario’s nine public holidays and overtime after 44 hours for part time staff. Construction payroll in Scarborough and Etobicoke adds T5018 slips for subcontractors and mandatory WSIB coverage.

Small business payroll for medical and dental clinics in North York often mixes salaried staff with associates paid as contractors, so we confirm employee or contractor status before issuing a T4 or T4A. Law firms on Bay Street run payroll alongside trust accounting, which our PC Law accounting team handles in the same file. Tech startups in Liberty Village and the MaRS District outsource payroll to us for stock option benefits, reported on the T4 with the 50 percent deduction claimed where it applies.

As a non-resident selling property in Canada, the process seemed daunting. Tax Return Filers Ltd. made it incredibly smooth and straightforward. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable. I specifically worked with Waqar Naqvi, who was exceptional. He guided me through every single step of obtaining the Certificate of Compliance, clearly explaining the requirements and keeping me informed throughout. His expertise was evident, and he patiently answered all my questions, making a complex process feel manageable. Thanks to Waqar and the team, my filing was handled efficiently and without any issues. I highly recommend Tax Return Filers Ltd. to any non-resident needing tax services for a Canadian property sale. They are true experts you can trust

I recently had the pleasure of working with Waqar, my accountant, and I can't say enough good things about his services. From the very beginning, it was clear that he values professionalism and has a deep understanding of accounting principles. His communication skills are outstanding. Waqar always takes the time to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which has been incredibly helpful for me. Whether it’s through emails or phone calls, he is always responsive and makes it a point to address any questions I have promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark about my finances, which is a huge relief. One of the aspects I appreciate most about Waqar is his punctuality. He consistently meets deadlines, whether it’s for filing taxes or preparing financial reports. I’ve had experiences in the past where accountants would delay tasks, but Waqar has always delivered on time without compromising quality. Overall, I highly recommend Waqar for any accounting needs. His combination of expertise, clear communication, and reliability sets him apart from others in the field.

Waqar Naqvi has prepared and filed my Personal Income Tax Returns since 2021. As a self-employed worker, tax season is a stressful time. However, Waqar's knowledge and expertise make the process much smoother and relaxed. I really appreciate Waqar's consistent patience and responsiveness to my detailed questions and concerns. Given my future aspirations of working abroad, having reliable, trustworthy, affordable, and highly skilled cross-border accounting services is very important to me. Therefore, I highly recommend Waqar Naqvi and Tax Return Filers, and look forward to their continued services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Waqar for over 5 years for my personal and business taxes as well as tax planning. Waqar is a true professional, he is extremely knowledgeable in his field and always gives the best advice in the complex of scenarios. Waqar's patience and professionalism is highly impressive. He is very responsive and communicates really well. It is hard to find tax professionals who look at the big picture, I find that Waqar, always looks at my entire financial picture and gives tax advice which is the most appropriate for my situation. Tax time is stressful enough and working with Waqar has made this process a lot easier. I would highly recommend Waqar and his team to anyone looking for a great tax partner.
