The Canadian Tax tables are used during payroll calculation to compute all federal, provincial, and Quebec taxes. Because these tables are maintained largely by PeopleSoft and updated based on the standards outlined in the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) publication Payroll Deductions Formulas for Computer Programs and the Revenu Quebec publication Guide for Employers: Source Deductions and Contributions, you shouldn't need to modify them. However, you can make changes using the Canadian Tax Table pages if you have the appropriate security authorization.

Use the Tax Rates, Credits, and Other page (CAN_TAX_TABLE4) to view the wage threshold and rates for calculating Canadian federal surtax.
