- 13. Why are we doing this topic? • Becuz: – It affects almost ALL SH Members – who here is an employee,an employer or an IC? Everyone? – From our experiences, it seems there are lots of misconceptions (Dennis Rodman) – Tax/financial and legal aspects are interwoven

- 15. Employee vs. Independent Contractor – Tax considerations January 14, 2014 Richard Weber, CPA, CA Weber, CA, Tax and Accounting info@webertaxaccounting.com www.webertaxaccounting.com
- 16. Why does it matter whether employee or independent contractor (“IC”)? 1. Generally more tax deductions available to ICs than employees 2. ICs may be required to register for and charge HST 3. Employer relieved of payroll source deductions, remittances and reporting for ICs 4. ICs save employers their share of CPP and EI 5. Potential increased responsibility for ICs to remit tax instalments than employees 6. “Personal Services Business” (PSB) considerations for incorporated ICs
- 17. Why does it matter whether employee or independent contractor (“IC”)? (continued) Therefore … the CRA cares about this! It is common for the parties to characterize as an IC an individual who really is an employee
- 18. Distinguishing an Employee and an IC 1. Having an Independent Contractor Agreement does not necessarily make one an IC; the actual work relationship is determinative 2. Consider intention of the parties – contract of service (employee) vs. contract for service (IC) 3. Classic common law factors: - degree of control over individual - does individual own tools, supplies or equipment? - does individual have a chance for profit or risk of loss?
- 19. Harmful factors to classification as IC 1. Occupies a permanent position 2. Does not provide services for any other entity 3. Works at times and a location directed by the organization 4. Attends “in-house” meetings with employees of the organization 5. Receives a fixed and regular amount of remuneration 6. Receives group insurance benefits 7. Is not permitted to work for any competitive entities
- 20. Tax consequences if an IC is really an employee 1. Employer liable to pay tax that should have been withheld at source plus a 10% or 20% penalty thereon, plus arrears interest . 2. If a criminal offence, possible fines and imprisonment 3. Liability of directors 4. May impact employer’s ability to claim input tax credit for GST / HST charged by former IC . 5. Employer liable to pay the individual’s and employer’s share of CPP and EI plus penalties and interest .
