Q.
How do I apply for a Business Number from A.
Contact your nearest Revenue
Canada Tax Services or Q. How do I obtain coverage by Workers’ Compensation? A.
Contact the Workers’ Compensation Board in your Q. Do I need to establish a health insurance plan? A. Each province has its own hospital and medical care plans. In some provinces, these plans are funded by a payroll tax, which the employer pays. The tax is usually a percentage of income paid to employees. In Alberta and British Columbia there is a fixed monthly premium paid by individuals. The employer may choose to pay all or part of the premium on the employee's behalf. The premium that the employer pays is a taxable benefit to the employee. Q. How can I reduce the employer’s rate of EI premiums? A. Employers who have employees covered by a wage-loss replacement plan for short-term disability could be eligible for a reduced rate. If the plan meets certain standards established by the EI Regulations, the employer’s share of the EI premiums could be paid at a reduced rate (less than the current 1.4). You must register annually with the EI Premium Reduction Program by submitting an application and the appropriate schedules, which you can find in the Application Guide for the Employment Insurance Premium Reduction Program (IN-121A-01-98E) and a copy of the plan. You can obtain the Applications Guide for the Employment Insurance Premiums Reduction Program from your local Human Resources Centre of Canada or by contacting:
