Canadian payroll isn’t one-size-fits-all. 🇨🇦

The rules change from province to province. Québec is a great example, with unique requirements around QPP, QPIP, CNESST, Revenu Québec remittances, RL-1 reporting, and more.

But here’s the thing: you shouldn’t need to be a payroll expert to run compliant payroll. ✅

The challenge is finding payroll software that’s simple enough to use while staying on top of the local requirements that apply to your business.

Take a closer look at how Wagepoint helps small business owners — and the accountants and bookkeepers who support them — achieve both.

If you run payroll for a business with employees in Québec, you already know the drill: a second system, or a manual workaround, just to keep up with rules that don't exist anywhere else in Canada.

That ends today.

Wagepoint handles Québec payroll in the same platform and the same workflow you'd use for any other province — built in, not bolted on. And the whole platform runs in French or English, set by each user.

For business owners, that's one system and one process, wherever your people are. For accountants and bookkeepers, your Québec clients live alongside the rest of your book, with the Québec-specific functionality they actually need.

No add-on fees. No separate tool. Just payroll that's simple and compliant, from Rimouski to Calgary.

Payroll heads up! 📣 Minimum wage increases are coming for several provinces and territories October 1

The first year you're self-employed, CPP is a cost that gets you at tax time. If you are a new entrepreneur, you likely didn't know that sole proprietors owe both the employee and employer contributions of CPP.

Nobody tells you this when you start.

We asked Alissa Bryden, CPA, CA, owner of Virtual Heights Accounting , to walk through what Canadian sole proprietors actually need to keep track of.

Because that's the thing about sole proprietorships. They're simple to start, which makes it easy to not know what you're missing. The same goes for most of what comes with starting a business.

Her updated guide covers what you owe, when it's due, when GST/HST registration kicks in, and what changes the day you hire your first employee.
