Bradley Jones, 44, has recently contacted Tara Holster, his tax accountant, for assistance. In April of 2020, Bradley completed his MBA at the University of Ottawa and immediately moved to Toronto in order to take on the role of sales consultant at Selling and Buying Ltd. (SBL), a Canadian-controlled private corporation, on May 1, 2020.

During Taras meeting with Bradley, he provided Tara with the following information pertaining to the 2020 taxation year:

1. Bradleys T4 slip for the year indicates the following:

Salary $112,000 Commission 12,000 Canada Pension Plan deducted 2,898 EI deducted 856 Employee Registered Pension Plan contributions (employer makes equal contribution) 2,500 Charitable donations deducted 400 Union dues deducted 800 Income tax deducted 40,000

2. Bradleys employer-provided the following medical benefits package: A comprehensive private health services plan, which includes drug, dental, and vision coverage. The premiums in 2020 were $1,000 and were entirely paid for by SBL. Sickness or accident insurance group plan with wage loss protection. In the event Bradley qualifies under this program, he will receive $5,000 per month. Under the terms of his contract, SBL paid the entire premium of $350. A premium membership at a high-end fitness club near his condo. Bradley strongly believes that physical health is important and convinced SBL that he would perform better at his job with this membership due to fewer sick days and more energy. SBL paid for the membership, which was $1,000 in 2020.

3. Since the cost of housing was much higher in Toronto than Ottawa, Bradley was provided with an interest-free loan for $500,000 on September 1, 2020, which he used to buy a condo close to the SBL office.

4. Bradley was required to pay for his moving expenses up front, but he submitted receipts to SBL and was fully reimbursed. The costs were as follows: Moving company $1,500 Gas (500 kms) 100

5. In December, Bradley received a watch as an award, not a gift, for having the most sales during the fourth quarter. The watch was valued at $400.Taxation Page 5 Copyright 2021 Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. All rights reserved.
