The correct answer is $16,800.00. A reasonable car allowance is paid at government prescribed rates. In Yukon for the first 5,000 business kilometres the reimbursement rate is $0.72 and for each business kilometre thereafter the rate is $0.66. 5,000 kilometres multiplied by $0.72 plus 20,000 (25,000 - 5,000) kilometres multipled by $0.66 equals a reimbursement amount of $16,800.00.

Question: 4-145 Simone is paid $900.00 weekly. In May she received a bonus of $1,000.00 for meeting her previous year's targets. In August she received another bonus of $1,000.00.

To calculate income taxes using the bonus tax method when there is more than one bonus in a year: Divide the current net bonus amount by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 weeks equals $19.04). Divide the May bonus by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 equals $19.04). Add these two amounts ($38.08). Add this amount to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($38.08 plus $891.67). Add the amount from Step 2 to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($19.04 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income plus both prorated bonuses ($38.08 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income ($891.67) plus the prorated previous bonus ($19.04). Subtract the Step 7 federal and provincial income taxes from the Step 6 federal and provincial income taxes. Multiply the results by the pay period frequency to determine the tax to withhold on the current bonus payment. Question: 5-33 Which of the following is  not  correct?

When an employer provides an employee with the use of an employer-owned or employer-leased automobile for both personal and business driving, the employee must be assessed a non-cash taxable benefit, based on their personal use of the automobile. Question: 3-106 Mohan was provided with a company-owned automobile on March 21 and had full access and control of the vehicle to December 31 of the same year. What was the period of availability? 1 $$10 Attempt #2: 1/1(Score: 1/1) Feedback The correct answer is 10. Availability is the number of thirty-day periods the automobile is available to the employee in the current taxation year. 286 days divided by 30 equals 9.53. The result is rounded to the nearest whole number if it is greater than one, so 9.53 is rounded to 10. Had the result been 9.50, then the number of periods would equal 9 since the government requirement is to round decimals down, not up, at .50.

Calculate the income taxes on the August bonus payment. (Hint: When calculating the Net Taxable Income, do not forget to calculate and deduct the enhanced portion of the CPP). 1 $$338 Attempt #2: 1/1(Score: 1/1) Feedback The correct answer is $338.00. To calculate income taxes using the bonus tax method when there is more than one bonus in a year: Divide the current net bonus amount by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 weeks equals $19.04). Divide the May bonus by the pay period frequency ($990.00 divided by 52 equals $19.04). Add these two amounts ($38.08). Add this amount to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($38.08 plus $891.67). Add the amount from Step 2 to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($19.04 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income plus both prorated bonuses ($38.08 plus $891.67). Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income ($891.67) plus the prorated previous bonus ($19.04). Subtract the Step 7 federal and provincial income taxes from the Step 6 federal and provincial income taxes. Multiply the results by the pay period frequency to determine the tax to withhold on the current bonus payment.

If a non-regular payment is combined with the employee's regular salary or wages payment, the Canada Pension Plan or Québec Pension Plan contribution can be determined using the payroll deduction tables, the government-provided software, or the manual calculation method, applying the pay period exemption. In this scenario you will take the salary of $1,800.00, add the bonus amount of $2,500.00, since they are both being paid on the same cheque, subtract the bi-weekly Canada Pension Plan exemption of $134.61 and multiply the result by the annual Canada Pension Plan rate of 5.95%. Question: 4-144 Dan Hopkins works for an Alberta organization and receives a regular salary of $2,400.00 semi- monthly.

To calculate the federal and provincial income tax using the bonus tax method: Divide the net amount of the vacation pay by the pay period frequency $1,683.00 divided by 24 equals $70.13. Add this amount to the employee's regular pay period net taxable income ($2,377.46 plus $70.13) equals $2,447.59. Determine the federal and provincial income taxes on the regular net taxable income plus the prorated vacation pay ($2,447.59), respectively $380.25 and $179.00.

She has worked 2 years for her employer. Josie received $2,500.00 as legislated wages in lieu of notice and $3,400.00 in outstanding vacation pay.

When an employee is paid solely by commission or is paid a salary plus irregular commissions, the employee's average weekly earnings, to be reported in Block 15B on the ROE, are calculated as follows: total insurable earnings paid within the last 52 weeks or since the date of employment (whichever is shorter), excluding payments received because of termination; divide it by the lesser of 52 weeks or length of employment to determine the average weekly earnings; multiply the average weekly earnings by the lesser of 27 weeks or the period of employment; add the other insurable earnings paid because of the termination. The total insurable earnings for Block 15B of Josie's ROE is: $26,312.00 divided by 52 and then multiplied by 27 plus $2,500.00 plus $3,400.00, which equals $19,562.00.
