GIFI 8350 Benefits on Direct Wages vs 8622 Employer's portion of employee Benefits

Dear Community,

 

We are an incorporated company and have the following question

One of our employee Adam is considered under Direct Wages 8340.

Another of our employee Eve is considered under Indirect Cost 9065.

We understand that for Eve, we would input her Employer's portion of employee benefits (Canada Pension Plan) under 8622.

 

However, where would you input Adam's employer's portion of employee benefits?

1) We would put Adam's employer's portion of employee benefits under 8622, consolidated with Eve's too?

or

2) We would put Adam's employer's portion of employee benefits under 8350 Benefits on Direct Wages? In such case, we would only have under 8622 only the employer's portion of employee benefits related to Eve.

 

Thank you for your time and contribution.

Chris

Hi, thank you for using TurboTax Community

Either code can be used to report the expense as a deduction on schedule 125 of the T2. Unfortunately the CRA GIFI guide does not give a description for Benefits on direct wages. Maybe other contributors will respond.

Below is a link to the CRA GIFI guide

Hope this helps
