How to Record CRA Payroll Remittances in QuickBooks Online (Properly and Cleanly)
October 19, 2025
Recording CRA payroll remittances correctly means treating them as a payment against payroll liabilities — not as a new expense. The expense is created when payroll is run, and the remittance simply clears the balance owed to CRA. Posting the payment this way keeps the financials accurate, prevents double-counting payroll costs, and ensures clean year-end reconciliation.

The clean method is: payroll run creates the liability, and the remittance clears it.
