Overview of Canadian Tax Credit Information Cards

Tax Credit Information calculation cards store the information required to accurately calculate federal and provincial taxes for an employee.

Considerations and Prerequisites

If the product license is set to Payroll or Payroll Interface, Tax Credit Information calculation cards are auto-generated for your Canadian new hires. You then need to:

  • Update the Canadian Taxation, Federal Tax, Employment Insurance, and Canada Pension Plan card components, if applicable.
  • Create a Provincial Tax card component, if applicable.
  • Create a Payroll Tax card component, if applicable.
  • Create a Quebec Tax card component, if applicable.
  • Create a tax reporting unit association for the Canadian Taxation card component.

If your employees were created in the Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud without a Payroll or Payroll Interface license then you need to create the complete Tax Credit Information calculation card.

Generating the Surrogate ID of the Tax Reporting Unit

The component sequence for the Canadian Taxation card component is the surrogate ID of the employee's tax reporting unit. It is an application-generated value to uniquely identify the tax reporting unit. You may use the Tax Reporting Unit BI Publisher report to extract your tax reporting units and their surrogate ID values. Refer to the Cloud Customer Connect topic Report: Tax Reporting Unit.
