Going green a taxing experience

Canada Revenue Agency is pressing more companies to buy into “the paperless filing solution” by sending T4 and other information electronically. Its web page includes T4 web-forms and desktop applications for use in calculating totals, validating data and enabling companies to print completed slips for their employees. Don’t have an access code? Call the CRA Help Desk at 1-877-322-7849.

Employers who use management software can file up to 20 megabytes of information – equivalent to some 20,000 slips, including original and amended T4s – by using the agency’s XML Internet file transfer service.
