Payroll tax reminder for employers

The Department of Finance reminds employers that businesses are required to remit and pay the two per cent (2%) payroll tax on time. Remittance payments are due on the 20th day of the month following each remitting period.

Employers should register their businesses with Nunavut Payroll Tax within 21 days of an employee’s first paycheck. An employer is a person who has a business and pays themselves or an employee working in Nunavut.

Employers are also encouraged to make payments through online wire transfers or through credit card authorization forms. For employer payroll tax forms (Remittance Form, Payroll Annual Return Forms and Credit Card Payment Form), visit www.gov.nu.ca/finance/information/payroll-tax.

To submit completed forms and for further information, please email @email.
