Processing Effect

You must have deductions set up for province in come taxes and EHT. The income tax deduction must be calculated for payments during the date range you select on this form.

If no income tax deductions were calculated within the date range, PR125 cannot report the gross wages used to calculate the EHT deduction.

The Payroll application uses the wages associated with the income tax deduction to calculate the EHT deduction. When you run PR125, Payroll populates EHT Wages (PR05.4) with the gross wages and the effective dates for the EHT deduction.

Note: If you have employer health tax deductions for provinces that have exemption amounts you will need to indicate how the exemption amounts should be applied on EHT Exemptions (PR05.5) each year based on how your employer health tax account numbers are assigned to their Lawson process levels.
