Treat exports as working records.

Payroll calculations currently cover 2026, including Quebec. Other tax years require updated rules. Check the province and pay situation, and do not assume the app files directly with the CRA or Revenu Québec.

Important: Canadian payroll calculations and filing requirements change. Review amounts and eligibility with current CRA/provincial guidance or your payroll professional. Generated workpapers are not proof of filing or acceptance.
