    1. Go to Reports --> Payroll --> Employee.

    2. Choose your start and end dates --> Select all employees --> Include inactive employees. Click OK

    3. Print Report: this gives you your gross amount of payroll for the Remittance period.

    To manually calculate the remittance amount: Multiply the amount of EI by 1.4 then add that number back to the original amount. Multiply CPP by 2. Add the EI & CPP totals to the tax total. That gives you the amount to remitted to CRA.

    IE: EI +$ 150.00 CPP = $200.00 & Tax =$1,000.00.

    EI Calculation is; 150 X 1.4 = 210.00 150 + 210 = 360.00

    CPP Calculation is: 200 X 2 = 400.00.

    Total Remitted is: 360 + 400 + 1000 = 1760.00.

    4. Go to Reports --> Payroll --> Deductions & Expenses.

    5. Choose your start and end date.
