My wife only received payments in the form of mat/parental leave last year. Her entire income is noted on the T4E, but it ends up being a repayment of $1,500. Since its the government paying the benefit, shouldn't they take enough tax off to not have to repay a large chunk at tax time? On the T4E it only shows total payments and repayment (0%) but doesn't show any amount for taxes paid. This seems sloppy from the government, as it would be a pretty basic calculation to take off the proper amount of tax every week. Is this correct or is it possible the T4E isn't complete?
