DISCUSSION ACTIVITY

Understanding the difference between a cash taxable allowance, a cash taxable benefit and a non-cash taxable benefit is critical when explaining the calculation of net pay to an employee. In your own words, explain whether each allowance and benefit is or is not subject to Canada/Qubec Pension Plan (C/QPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, Qubec Parental Insurance Plan premiums and income tax. Provide an example of a cash taxable allowance, a cash taxable benefit and a non-cash taxable benefit.
