T4 vs. T4A: Are you reporting your income correctly? π
Many business owners and self-employed professionals confuse T4 and T4A slips, which can lead to costly tax mistakes.
β
T4 = Employees (salary, wages, CPP, EI & tax deductions)
β
T4A = Independent contractors, freelancers & commission income (you manage your own taxes)
Understanding the difference can help you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary CRA issues.
