The company's Finance Manager, David White, is considering using part of the payroll remittances held in trust to cover unexpected operating costs. He has been advised that outstanding Accounts Receivables should cover the short term deficit within the next 60 days.

As the Payroll Clerk, he has asked you to research the consequences of both "late payment" and "failure to file" for the following provincial remittances:

Qubec remittances (Qubec Pension Plan contributions, Qubec Parental Insurance Plan premiums, Qubec provincial income tax, health services fund contributions and Commission de la sant et de la scurit du travail premiums)

Provincial medical premiums and taxes for Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador

The balance in the Qubec statutory remittances account plus the provincial medical premiums and taxes would be sufficient to cover the company's operating costs shortfall, so focus on the penalties for those remittances. Consider the fines, penalties and interest charges set out by the above jurisdictions. You currently remit your Qubec deductions and have an average monthly remittance of more than $100,000.00. Your annual Ontario payroll is greater than $800,000.00 and your total annual Newfoundland and Labrador remuneration is over $1,300,000.00.

Based on your research, write a memo, providing recommendation(s) and the rationale supporting this.
