Agree on a rate, do the work, send payment. Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Except it&#8217;s not. In Canada, how you pay contractors, what you document, how you classify the working relationship and whether you&#8217;re issuing the right tax slips all sit firmly in the CRA&#8217;s line of sight. Get it wrong and you&#8217;re not just looking at an awkward conversation. You&#8217;re looking at reassessments, penalties and back-payments that can stretch years into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This guide cuts through the noise so you can pay contractors confidently and cleanly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why contractor payments carry real audit risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The CRA doesn&#8217;t take your word for it when you say someone&#8217;s a contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">They look at the actual working relationship. How much control do you have over how the work gets done? Does the worker operate their own business? Are they financially at risk? Do they work for other clients?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">If the facts don&#8217;t line up with the &#8220;independent contractor&#8221; label, the CRA can reclassify the worker as an employee. When that happens, you&#8217;re on the hook for the CPP contributions, EI premiums and income tax that should have been withheld from day one, plus interest and penalties on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">And it&#8217;s not a hypothetical risk. Misclassification is one of the most common payroll compliance issues the CRA investigates, particularly in industries where project-based and flexible work is common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Beyond classification, there are other tripping points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmark\">\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Not issuing T4A slips when you&#8217;re required to<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--1-5);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--1-5)\">Paying without collecting proper invoices or business numbers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Handling GST\/HST incorrectly (or not at all)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--1-5)\">Weak payment records that can&#8217;t survive an audit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Most of these mistakes are entirely avoidable.
