Small business information seminar

This seminar is for people who have just started or are about to start a small business. We present this seminar in the three modules described below. As a result, you can focus on the subjects that interest you. Payroll is the first module covered, followed by Tax. After the lunch break, the GST/HST module will be presented.

Please note that these sessions are presented in English. If you would like to participate in this seminar in French, please let us know and we will contact you when it is available.

Note: These sessions are intended as an introduction to the topics and as such is basic in content.

Payroll module: Deductions--What do you need to take off of your employees' cheques; remittances--When are your payroll remittances due and what are your responsibilities; reporting--filing T4s. This module also outlines employment relationships to help you determine whether a worker is an employee or a self-employed individual.

Income tax module: Starting your business, record keeping, fiscal periods and accounting methods, rights and obligations, payment of taxes, income and expenses, types of income, and capital vs. operating and capital costs. A representative from the province of Alberta will also present information pertaining to corporations and the related provincial responsibilities and procedures.

GST/HST module: This module gives you general information about GST/HST. Do you need to register? How do you register? How to complete the GST/HST return. If you have attended a GST/HST New Registrant Seminar you do not need to attend this module as it is the same presentation as the one offered in the evening GST/HST New Registrant workshop.
