Report the benefit in box 028, "Other income" in the "Other information" area at the bottom of the T4A slip in either of the following situations:

  • The shareholder is not an employee.
  • The individual is a shareholder and an employee, and you provide the vehicle to the individual in his or her capacity as a shareholder.
