PD7A — Statement of account for current source deductions
This image is of the revised PD7A, Statement for current source deductions that the Canada Revenue Agency will start sending out in May 2016. It includes four notes explaining how the notice’s contact information, statement date information, action you need to take, and your current balance are simplified and easy to understand. The four notes read:
- “1. YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION – Appears in the left corner”
- “2. STATEMENT DATE INFORMATION – Organized so you can easily identify your statement details”
- “3. ACTION YOU NEED TO TAKE – Provides your information and if actions are required”
- “4. YOUR CURRENT BALANCE – Provides you with your current-year balance”
A PD7A, Statement of account for current source deductions, was sent to you because you have a business with employees, and you are required to send in Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, and income tax deductions to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on their behalf.
