Payroll for Markham employers
Markham has a large technology and IT sector, with software firms and incorporated consultants around Highway 7 and the 404, alongside retail, restaurants and import businesses in Pacific Mall, Markville and Unionville. Payroll here often includes salaried developers, bonuses, stock options and staff who work remotely.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA. T-Ledgers is a CPA-led accounting firm practising since 2020. We work with Markham clients online, with cloud bookkeeping, so you never need to drive across the 401. If you’d rather meet in person, you can book a meeting at our Etobicoke or Mississauga office. Meetings are by appointment only.
Markham payroll situations we handle
← Swipe to compare →
| Local situation | How we handle it | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tech salaries, bonuses and stock options | Bonuses are taxed as bonuses, not regular pay, and stock option benefits are added to the T4 when they arise. We set up each correctly. | Income Tax Act s.7 |
| Remote staff outside Ontario | An employee who reports to an office in another province may need different provincial deductions. We check the province of employment for each person. | CRA guide RC4110 |
| Incorporated consultants paying themselves | One-person corporations often pay the owner a salary through payroll. We set up CPP correctly and file the T4. | Income Tax Regulations s.201 |
| City of Markham licences | Some Markham businesses, including food premises, need a City licence; fees are booked when paid. | City of Markham business licence |
How we work with Markham clients
Markham tech companies often pay a mix of salaries, bonuses and equity, and some staff work remotely from other provinces. Incorporated consultants may have just one employee: themselves. Both need payroll set up correctly from the first run, because fixing a year of wrong deductions at T4 time is far harder.
We run pay in QuickBooks Online Payroll or Wagepoint, remit to the CRA on schedule and issue T4s with any taxable benefits and stock option amounts included. For retail and restaurant clients around Pacific Mall, Markville and Unionville, we handle part-time hours, tips and vacation pay.
Federal and Ontario payroll rules
Every Markham employer follows the same CRA rules on source deductions, remittance deadlines, T4s and ROEs, and the same Ontario rules on paydays, overtime, vacation pay, WSIB and Employer Health Tax. This year’s rates, deadlines and the Acts behind them are on our payroll services page.
Law: Income Tax Act s.153(1); Employment Standards Act, 2000.
Payroll pricing in Markham
Payroll is quoted after consultation, as a fixed monthly fee based on your headcount, pay frequency and whether you need WSIB and EHT filing. The price only changes if your headcount, pay schedule or scope does. See what every engagement includes and plans and pricing.
