Business owners should, says Vancouver CPA, revert to the Michael Gerber book EMEA. His quote in the book is “the fatal assumption is; if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.”
There’s often a lot of’s psychology as well that goes into business. It seems as though entrepreneurs are just simply wired the right way because they are good at getting to the heart of the matter and influencing people. They will persuade their employees and influencing in positive ways, they stay on task with their mission, their vision is a long-term one with short-term positive increments, and they look their problem straightening I for a solution without dwelling on them. Vancouver CPA says ideally there very good at getting people to buy into their products, their service service, and their business.
Vancouver CPA also states that they think that if they as potentially powerful entrepreneurs make a very passionate and emotional speech and plea that the logical argument will be that they are safe from any sort of ramifications. The problem is that anybody in or out of business can make a passionate, logical argument on both sides of the issue. Often times what happens is the contractor is online and they read a couple of considerations about the contractor and the employee, and they still as a matter fact think that they are safe if you make a great argument. The ruling process is probably not going to go down as a matter of fact the way that they envision it will or that the go to Stickley think it will. They think that if they come into the office and make a great dramatic show, that somehow the CRA is going to buy into that argument and set them free. If not going to have opportunity to close again, that’s not how it is going to work with the CRA.
The CRA has seen many such attempts at not accruing any fines or penalties. It is impossible to foil or full CRA as they are the governing body for all taxes and that’s what they are there to collect.
The two most popular reasons where a lot of businesses will fail, it is common number one, the risk of profit and loss. And number two, the control, and what’s going on with this contractor.
Is that contractor responsible for their own training or is that going to be taken care of by the business with which they have been contracted with? Do they infecting themselves? Can they hire replacement to do their job or are they insisting on that particular person doing the particular work? There are a lot of considerations with which to think about in terms of retaining contractors or reverting to an employee.
Consider the fact that auditors will ask does the person have any other clients? As well, the list of questions is huge, potentially probably about 40 to 50 questions long, and content considered more and interrogation.
Vancouver CPA says that they will be able to collect tax, considering the business. They can say that they are going to have to pay the withholding tax as well. This, generally won’t go after the withholding tax, according to the Canada revenue agency. What they will in fact go after is the Canada pension plan and the employment insurance. Those are considered to be the two big fish of taxes.
Consider the fact that clients should be very pragmatic with this. Do you have one contractor that you are paying simply a few hundred dollars a year two? And maybe there are some risks involved with that, however they are minor risks at best. Be pragmatic on evaluating the risk. What’s the aggregate amount that you are paying the contractors, advises Vancouver CPA. The CRA auditors will potentially turn a blind eye to any sort of discrepancy of approximately $500 or less. $500 is usually the discrepancy with which they work. However, anything more than $500 will certainly be looked at and considered in terms of penalties and fines.
Eventually, what will happen is the risks after five and ours really start to get high. If you had several thousands of dollars a year, 50 or 60 or $100,000 in payments to unincorporated contractors and you’ve been doing it for years that’s when the risks start to really get high.
Control is the number two most important factor. Consider the fact of what is going on with the so-called contractor. Are they in fact responsible for their own training, or is the business was with which has contracted them going to train them? Are they able to hire a replacement to do their job if in fact they are unavailable? Maybe you are insisting that they are the only ones that can do that particular work. That must be considered.
Successful well accomplished entrepreneur who is used to being able to persuade people means nothing to the CRA. They have seen it all, says Vancouver CPA. Consider the fact that the if they are in arrears with any of their penalties or fines, they are subject to interrogations that can measure in the 50 or 60 question and hour-long process.
Sometimes, big companies will bring someone in on an employee and a CRA loves that is they are going to get there share of the tax. This process is quite easy, and straightforward. Then if you bring on an incorporated contractor, CRA doesn’t care about that either. They will accept that relationship as well.
Consider the fact that all the risk is when you take under your wing an unincorporated contractor. If you have an employee under your company, that is considered no problem in the eyes of the Canada revenue agency. As well for an incorporated contractor, no problem. However, it is an unincorporated contractor where all the risk lies.
