Circus, fair, parade (Employment in)

If you paid or have employed a person in connection with a circus, fair, parade, carnival, exposition, exhibition, or other similar activity, except for entertainers, you may have to make deductions from the remuneration you pay to that person.

CPP contributions

Do not deduct CPP contributions from payments to a person, if that person:

  • is not your regular employee; and
  • works for less than seven days in the year.

Note

If your employee works seven days or more, the employment is pensionable from the first day of work. Deduct CPP contributions if your employee's pensionable earnings are more than the CPP basic exemption for the same period.

EI premiums

Do not deduct EI premiums from payments to a person, if that person:

  • is not your regular employee; and
  • works for less than seven days in the year.

Note

If the employee works seven days or more, the employment is insurable from the first day of work.

Income tax

Deduct income tax from the remuneration the employee received from the first day worked. Use the payroll deductions table that applies to the period during which the employee was paid.
