Canada Pension Plan Changes – A Double Bill with the CRA and Service Canada
CPA Web Seminar Series
PRESENTED DIRECT-TO-YOUR-DESKTOP by the Canadian Payroll Association in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada
Archived Web Seminar
Topic Description
This interactive and practical seminar will provide participants with an understanding of the changes to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) resulting from the Canada Economic Recovery (stimulus) Act 2009 (Bill C-51). These changes are being phased-in gradually from 2011 to 2016, with the biggest payroll-related changes coming into effect on January 1, 2012. It is imperative that employers understand their responsibilities under the new legislation and are able to communicate the impact of these changes to their employees.
Learn all about the CPP changes directly from the federal government.
Representatives from both the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Service Canada will each delivery a presentation and will be available to answer your questions during the web seminar.
In this seminar, representatives from the CRA Trust Accounts and CPP/EI Programs will review the upcoming changes to the Canada Pension Plan which affect employees from 60 to 70 of age who are receiving CPP retirement pensions and continue to work. The CRA will also discuss the effect these changes will have on your employer responsibilities.
The changes resulting from Bill C-51 also have an impact on the value of actual CPP retirement benefits, as well as on the employee’s ability to apply for an early CPP retirement pension. Representatives from Service Canada will discuss all areas with either a direct or indirect impact on payroll, including the removal of the work cessation test.
By the end of this informative session, you will be able to:
- Understand Bill-C51 Changes
- Understand the Post Retirement Benefit effective January 1, 2012
- Apply this knowledge to your payroll process
- Communicate these changes effectively to your employees
This informative two-hour session will include two 45-minute presentations and a 30-minute Question and Answer period to respond to pre-submitted and live questions, as well as engaging polling questions.
Participants are invited to send in pre-submitted questions to Rachel De Grâce at Rachel.Degrace@payroll.ca no later than October 7, 2011.
