E-Business Toolkit e-Business Toolkit Questions. Hiring your first employee | Your online newspaper for Waterloo, Ontario. W. Roy Weber When starting a new business it often works out best not to hire employees right off the bat. Staffing costs can be expensive and initial cash flow may not warrant it. The average time it takes before a new business owner thinks of hiring is two years after start up. Most of my clients begin to consider employing staff in this timeframe. There is a lot to consider when hiring your first employee and it is not only the cost, but the time to create the position and properly train your new staff as well. If you are considering hiring your first employee here are some of the basic things you will want to consider before you start interviewing and hiring. The first thing you want to take care of is setting up a payroll source deduction account with Revenue Canada. It is through this account that income tax, employment insurance and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) are deducted and remitted.

The 2011 federal budget created a hiring credit for small business (HCSB), a credit intended to stimulate new employment and support small businesses. The 2012 federal budget extended the HCSB for 2012. The 2013 federal budget expanded and extended the HCSB for 2013. The HCSB gives small businesses relief from the employer's share of employment insurance (EI) premiums paid in a year. It does this by crediting up to $1,000 on the payroll program account, based on the increase in an employer's EI premiums paid in one year over those paid in the year before.
Note The HCSB is for employers and businesses that pay the employer's share of EI premiums to a payroll program (RP) account.

Then now's the time you should be planning ahead to lessen your Canadian income tax bite by splitting your business income within your family. The basic theory behind income splitting is simple. You will pay less Canadian income tax if you make less money because of the sliding tax rates. Income splitting is the transfer of income from a person in a higher income tax bracket to a person in a lower income tax bracket. As a business, you can decrease your actual income by hiring your spouse and/or children as employees, and passing along some of your business income to them in the form of salary or wages. Suppose, for instance, your business's net income is $75,000.
But your spouse has been working in the business all that year, and you paid him a salary of $30,000. And Canadian income tax savings are not the only benefits to this tax strategy. Income Splitting Canada Rules So what are the catches to income splitting in Canada?
