Getting started

The corporation will determine the nature of any payout to shareholder owners and report on required slips. Such as T4 (Employment) T4A (directors Fees) T5 (Dividends, Eligible or non-eligible) and amounts that may be considered as tax free such as automobile allowance (under CRA guidelines), office in home reimbursement (reasonable under CRA guidelines ) and return of shareholders loans. You will need to reconcile this with the corporation and make sure the amounts are declared and reported correctly.

You are not personally self-employed when receiving payments from your own corporation.
