  • Trucking Industry T4A Reporting Requirements - For many years, there has been a concern within the government, including the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), that there has been significant tax non-compliance in the trucking sector, including the misclassification of some drivers as self-employed when they would factually be employees. As a result of this increased concern, on Dec 4, 2025, the CRA announced that the trucking industry would be required to report business-to-business fees for services on Form T4A, reversing a long-standing T4A reporting moratorium on penalties for failure to report fees for services. Renewed enforcement of Form T4A reporting would be effective immediately. As a result, trucking businesses are required to file a T4A slip for each instance where total payments for services made to a Canadian-controlled private corporation (CCPC) in the trucking industry were over $500 in the calendar year. The normal filing deadline for Form T4A reporting for fees for services paid in 2025 is Feb 28, 2026, but as that date falls on a Saturday, the due date for 2025 reporting will be March 2, 2026.

Careful About How You Offer the Job! - 'If you send a bare-bones offer letter and the employee accepts, you're stuck with that,' says lawyer offering tips for HR folks. A recent British Columbia Supreme Court ruling in Adams v. Thinkific Labs Inc. highlights the importance of comprehensive employment offer letters. Madeline Adams accepted an initial offer lacking termination clauses, and a subsequent document with these clauses was deemed unenforceable due to a lack of fresh consideration. This decision warns employers that initial offer letters are often binding contracts. Employers should include all necessary terms from the start to avoid legal issues. (October 11, 2024)
