Hi alg1,

Thanks for your question! When setting up an employee's profile in the payroll module and in the Taxes tab, you can manually enter the Federal and Provincial basic amounts. It's best to do this individually as some employees may not use the max amounts.

By the way, we recently posted this blog on: Learning about and using Sage 50 CA's Payroll Module !

Things to note include that a payroll plan add-on is needed for automatic deductions to be available. Otherwise you can use the online calculator by the CRA, we have some details on how to do this here on this blog :  How to use the CRA's and Revenue Quebec's payroll tax calculators

If you would like to discuss the addition of a payroll plan to your subscription, the Sage 50 CA sales team is available at 1-888-261-9610.

Hope this helps!

Hi Erzsi,

Thank you for your reply. We do have Sage payroll and I am familiar with how to enter the claim amounts.

I needed more background knowledge of what claim amounts were used for (I know "how to enter" payroll in SAGE, but am still learning the fundamentals). I looked at your suggested blog on how to use CRA payroll tax calculators and went on the CRA website to gather more info on manual calculations and am gaining more understanding.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.
