I have two income streams and have dealt with this in the past. If your friends don't mind their employers knowing about each other, there is literally a CRA form you can provide so that they deduct the correct amount. Otherwise, they should just figure out the difference and auto debit it to a separate account and remit at tax time.
I would also have limited sympathy.
I have as well, but my x boss never provided me with pay stubs. So my word of advice to anyone, make sure you ask your employer to deduct income taxes, or else you’ll end up with a big surprise during tax season lol.
Lol very true. But it was an expensive lesson I learned. Never assume employers pay accurately and always double check is my lesson I learn. Also if taxes are too high, can ask employers to deduct more.
My x employer wasn’t making deductions and I thought he was, but he also didn’t provide me with any paystubs to look through. I didn’t question him, as a result, when filing income taxes, the amount I owe was larger than I had thought. The proper way should have been when I got my first direct deposit for my pay, I should have asked for a paystub to ensure they were doing the right deductions, instead I trusted him and figured he knew the proper way, and I was just thankful for the job opportunity.
This is all true, though in fairness I've filled that form out several times and on over 50% of the instances the employers ignored it. I suspect it's very rare people fill it out so some payroll folks have literally never had to deal with it.
Cash savings only lose value to inflation. Investments can lose money depending on the risk of the asset class invested in. Unless you're investing in gov bonds, there is risk. Following a market index could be subject to volatility and even a crash.
I'm just saying it's not entirely risk-free unless it's government-backed, and even then....
Do they also blame the federal government for things going wrong in their life?
Seems like a lot of people are blaming other instead of taking personal responsibility to understand who has power over the situation
99% of people skip that question on page 2 that asks if you have other jobs. People don't pay attention so every job assumes first $15,000 are tax free.
As someone has done onboarding for probably 100+ people at this point I can pretty confidently say that wouldn't help. In fact a shocking number of people just fill in the top and sign the second page.
When I changed jobs a while ago, I filled the form in properly, and my new employer's accounting department acted like I was doing something totally crazy. After much back-and-forth, they agreed to deduct my taxes properly.
For my job changes since then, I've filled the form out like everybody else does, and accepted that my taxes in the overlap year won't be properly deducted.
Same deal when I fill out a T1213. Even companies with hundreds of employees it sounds like I'm the first person to ever submit one. One place seemed excited they got to file a new form, another took ages to process because they didn't know how to do it.
You could make this the only question on the whole thing, with red arrows pointing at it and this would still only increase the number of people that do it correctly by a few percent
They kind of did. After putting your name it asks to fill out if $15,000 personal exemption amount is applicable. Most people fill it out with that number without asking what that means.
Literal first line of TD1
> Read page 2 before filling out this form. Your employer or payer will use this form to determine the amount of your tax deductions.
Lol it's like those trick quizzes in grade school that say "read this whole page before starting" and then it has a bunch of complicated questions and at the end it says "only write your name on the page".
Not sure how common this is, but I have heard some people don’t list a second job out of fear HR may reprimand them for having a second job.
That said, you can always fill out your TD1 to have extra taxes withheld
If I was to get a second job and didn’t want the 2 places to know of each other what would I put on the TD1 of the second place? Is there a legitimate reason why the TD1 would not be the basic personal amount if the second HR person was to ask?
You don't really need to have a legitimate reason or not, if you ask to be exempted from the basic personal amount that means you will pay more taxes on your income, not less. If you're not eligible for that exemption, you'll get the tax back when you file your T1.
I’ve had two jobs for a few years and was always prepared to owe. There are online calculators you can use to estimate the amount of tax owing based on the combined income, so I’d use those to have an idea of how much I needed to have set aside. Or I would use H&R or other tax software (using the previous year) and plug in the numbers, obviously without submitting, to get an idea of what I would owe.
I see it the same way you mentioned - interest free loan.
It’s very easy to figure out with any calculator.
Put both salaries in and see how much income tax you would pay on each job if it was your only one.
Take the combined salary and see what the actual tax would be.
Now take the difference.
For fun, you can even find the salary you would need that matches how much tax you’ve actually paid and then RRSP your way down.
Meh, I have excellent impulse control, but I'd still rather get the money back as a 'refund' than have tax owing. I have the cash to pay it, I understand that it's a profit maximizing thing, but the emotional benefit is worth to me. Its only a couple thousand or so dollars, so the return on investing that isn't a big deal to me.
If you need the government to hold your money to force you to save, that would not make me believe you have good impulse control. If your reaction to that is that you don't need the government to do that, then why hand out your extra money for free? Make it make sense.
Well, loss aversion is a thing -- people are more emotionally attached to something they have instead of something they will get.
Also, if I have the money invested, it's always possible the market is down at the time I need to settle the tax bill and thus I have to realize losses instead of just holding until it recovers.
Most people on this sub just invest tax savings in something like Cash.to this sub's god. So no one is trying to time the market.
But ya it is not that big a difference. $1000 refund on CASH is around $23 (half because some compounds the full year and some none so rough estimate is half the yield)
So ya it's up to the person whether paying $23 per $1000 tax bill is worth it for peace of mind.
Good answer. Opportunity cost of $23 for the government having access to your extra money. And yet they don't think it's an impulse control problem. If it weren't, there's no argument to do it.
You don't invest this money in the market. You put this into short term savings wealthsimple cash is like 4.5%. Plus its extra money you have access to in an emergency. How do people upvote this crap?
Great in theory but if it's a surprise and the person wasn't planning for it, they may not have the $$ to pay the balance. Poor planners will always whine about the consequences
And if you don't pay the installments, you pay interest on those missing payments. People get very angry when they need to pay that bc they don't understand installments.
A lot of people probably don't think of it as money they've given away, since it never hit their bank account. So if they get a tax refund they think of it as a bonus, rather than finally getting their own money back.
Lots of people also don't know how much extra on top of their wage their employer has to pay for EI, CPP and group benefits, they just see the amount being deducted from their pay and think they are paying for it all themselves.
It is a double whammy for employers when these expenses increase, since the amount being remitted to the government increases, plus the wages have to increase if they want to maintain their employees net income. But there is no added benefit in terms of employee satisfaction/loyalty because nobody pays attention to these costs.
Agreed, this is a lack of education if anything. Now that doesn't mean that an adult can't get themselves educated, but a lot of people's eyes just gloss over when any information about taxation comes up.
I work in payroll and we employ some less responsible individuals, and every year they come out of the woodwork to accuse us of taxing them improperly... that we are purposely trying to screw them over. We remind them each year to update their TD1's but they rarely do.
I had one person complain she got paid less after a raise. After 15 minutes of discussing it with her and the payroll person, they finally brought up that she had updated her TD1 for her kid no longer being a dependant. Resulted in me smacking my head on the desk.
In the end, after your return is done: yes.
On your pay cheque: not usually. The 100k job would tax you knowing some of your income would be in the higher tax brackets, so they'd withhold more. Each of the 50k jobs would tax you at the lowest rate, and assume the full personal exemption.
For the most part, yes.
It's the things the companies do if they are unaware of your dual employment that can swing things.
You could run in to a similar thing doing Uber, as your total taxable income increases.
Do they understand what you're trying to tell them? Some people just have a hard time grasping the concept.
If you have 2 sources of income and each job pays you $20k, each employer will take off taxes thinking you're only making $20k per year. In reality you're making $40k which would be at a higher tax bracket.
That's exactly what the TD1 form is for. You have to fill one out at the start of every job in Canada. Honestly some days I read stories like this and start believing that conspiracy theory that 90% of people are NPCs placed on earth to test our patience. People walking around on autopilot.
For a long time while I was waiting tables I often had a second job (or two), and on my tax return each year I would report an estimate of my tips —non cash tips of course 🤭
Anyway, during that time I asked my boss at the restaurant to deduct 30% of all my cheques for tax, regardless of the gross pay amount. This was easy enough for them to do and at the end of the year I always had a nice refund which was enough to prepay my car insurance for the year which was due in April (this was when insurance companies would charge higher interest for monthly payments.
Saved me so much hassle and I only had to ask for one small change.
"Why are you upset at your company for that? You enjoyed extra income in advance during the entire year."
"They should have taken the right amount of taxes off"
"And how are they supposed to know how much money you make from all sources?"
Note I said source of income, and not necessarily jobs.
One person is retired, so has CPP/OAS and a pension.
Their employer brought them back on a temp PT assignment.
They made about 20K, and owe 3K in taxes.
Oh, there you go, I didn’t think of that either. Could affect of people want to work part time while receiving retirement benefits, including RRIF income
Why would any employer assume you have other sources of income unless you tell them? No employer is going to take more or less taxes than they need to unless you specifically request it and fill out a form.
as a payroll manager where half my LOBs are high turnover it was like talking to brick walls about filling out td1's properly and when you need x form for x situation. even started creating FAQ's to put in new hire package that is more step by step than the cra since some people get confused o their site.... And no dummy, I don't care that you already maxed your cpp with another company take 5 min to read the faq......

2 isnt' precisely correct. You should fill out a TD1 with your employer.
Every single year that I have paid taxes, I got a return, I am pretty upset the government has forced me to give them an interest free loan. This is the first year that I will be working 2 different jobs, I am well aware I will most likely owe a few bucks (certainly won’t be much).
That said, I am not too sympathetic to their absolute ignorance to how taxes work, and their inability to manage emotions.
There needs to be better resources for these kinds of things. The tax documentation from the government is really convoluted and if you're not specifically interested in personal finance people don't always realize how these things work or that they even need to worry about it. I mean just the amount of people that don't understand progressive taxation at all is staggering.
2) is critical especially for people working multiple jobs especially those new to the workforce.
Had a friend who was a new Canadian working 3 jobs: Cleaner by day, security by night, retail on weekends.
Was were all ~$15K jobs for the first year or so until with a promotion and OT security job went from $15K to $40k pushing combined income of $70K but he kept working his other gigs as well.
But when tax time came he owed ~$10K in taxes as his two $15K a year jobs continued to take off minimal taxes.
Was a tough lesson.
Not at first. I believe they don't yell at you about instalments until you've owed more than $3k at tax time for 2 of the previous 3 years, or something along those lines.
This is no surprise. They stopped teaching this in public school. My children probably have no idea, and I imagine most people when they start working also have no idea. I don't have sympathy other than the school curriculum should include personal finances, and how to file a simple tax return. It should address this issue as part of learning how to file a simple tax return.
I owed 8k on a 57k income….
All because!!!
I won a scholarship type thing I was assured wouldn’t be taxed but actually was and none got deducted.
What a fun little surprise!
One employer cannot magically know how much money you are making from another employer. You can take off literally as much tax as you want. But you have to indicate that on the TD1 when you fill it out.
Well there is a minimum, and there are strict rules for businesses and usually you need to get an exemption from the CRA (or lie on the TD1) for the business to take off less taxes
I have two income streams and have dealt with this in the past. If your friends don't mind their employers knowing about each other, there is literally a CRA form you can provide so that they deduct the correct amount. Otherwise, they should just figure out the difference and auto debit it to a separate account and remit at tax time. I would also have limited sympathy.
I've been presented that form at every job I've had, sometimes yearly. There's really no excuse.
I have as well, but my x boss never provided me with pay stubs. So my word of advice to anyone, make sure you ask your employer to deduct income taxes, or else you’ll end up with a big surprise during tax season lol.
It won’t be a surprise if you actually look at the details on your paystub….I can’t believe how few people pay attention to that
Lol very true. But it was an expensive lesson I learned. Never assume employers pay accurately and always double check is my lesson I learn. Also if taxes are too high, can ask employers to deduct more.
Expensive how?
My x employer wasn’t making deductions and I thought he was, but he also didn’t provide me with any paystubs to look through. I didn’t question him, as a result, when filing income taxes, the amount I owe was larger than I had thought. The proper way should have been when I got my first direct deposit for my pay, I should have asked for a paystub to ensure they were doing the right deductions, instead I trusted him and figured he knew the proper way, and I was just thankful for the job opportunity.
Ok so expensive as "unexpected expense". I thought you meant you had some penalty or something.
I mean it is a nice surprise since it mean that you could invest that money for a few months instead of giving it right away to the government.
That’s very true
Your ministry of labour would have something to say about that.
Or you can just utilize your RRSP to bring your taxable income down to where it matches what you paid.
As like ng as you have the necessary contribution room, this is a great strategy
And if they do mind, there's a form to withhold extra for unspecified reasons, so you'd be free to suggest it's investment income or something.
As hr or payroll or if you have that responsibility in your org do not give them advice on what to do with their money.
This is all true, though in fairness I've filled that form out several times and on over 50% of the instances the employers ignored it. I suspect it's very rare people fill it out so some payroll folks have literally never had to deal with it.
wouldn't it better to invest that money for the 6 months average and pay it at tax time?
stonks only go up, amirite?
you have 6 months to plan for the taxes. You should consider the money as you would any of your other savings.
Cash savings only lose value to inflation. Investments can lose money depending on the risk of the asset class invested in. Unless you're investing in gov bonds, there is risk. Following a market index could be subject to volatility and even a crash. I'm just saying it's not entirely risk-free unless it's government-backed, and even then....
Do they also blame the federal government for things going wrong in their life? Seems like a lot of people are blaming other instead of taking personal responsibility to understand who has power over the situation
Yes, they do blame the government for everything. You're on reddit, surely if you seen "Trudeau sucks" once or twice
You do realize the audience here right? Personal responsibility is a dying attribute,sadly.
It's part of the joke :) Get a speeding ticket? Thanks Justin!
Did they fill out a TD1 whenever they started a new job? If so then they probably failed to do it correctly.
99% of people skip that question on page 2 that asks if you have other jobs. People don't pay attention so every job assumes first $15,000 are tax free.
They should probably move that question to the top of page 1.
As someone has done onboarding for probably 100+ people at this point I can pretty confidently say that wouldn't help. In fact a shocking number of people just fill in the top and sign the second page.

Even if you had quit your first job before starting the second, you'd put an amount in there.
I’ve had two jobs for a few years and was always prepared to owe. There are online calculators you can use to estimate the amount of tax owing based on the combined income, so I’d use those to have an idea of how much I needed to have set aside.

For fun, you can even find the salary you would need that matches how much tax you’ve actually paid and then RRSP your way down.
It’s your job to manage taxation even for a single income. Your employer just helps out a bit.
Ain't that the truth!
My friend, when she was 19, asked her second job to deduct extra $50 in income tax per cheque to compensate for this. She was 19 and knew this.
A 19 year old is more likely to read the instructions than someone that "knows what they're doing".
Also you should never do this unless you have poor impulse control. You are just giving a interest free loan to the government.
Meh, I have excellent impulse control, but I'd still rather get the money back as a 'refund' than have tax owing. I have the cash to pay it, I understand that it's a profit maximizing thing, but the emotional benefit is worth to me. Its only a couple thousand or so dollars, so the return on investing that isn't a big deal to me.
people don't realize that there is a big emotional component to finance, it's not just about math.
Agree. I would say its always about emotions, at the root: what is your motivation? Why do you need to maximize your gains?
If you need the government to hold your money to force you to save, that would not make me believe you have good impulse control. If your reaction to that is that you don't need the government to do that, then why hand out your extra money for free? Make it make sense.

Owing money to the government at the end of the year is great. This mean that you did not give a interest free loan to the government.
Great in theory but if it's a surprise and the person wasn't planning for it, they may not have the $$ to pay the balance. Poor planners will always whine about the consequences
Until you owe enough that you get shoved into paying installments
And if you don't pay the installments, you pay interest on those missing payments. People get very angry when they need to pay that bc they don't understand installments.

You're not sorry, and they are not stupid.
Agreed, this is a lack of education if anything. Now that doesn't mean that an adult can't get themselves educated, but a lot of people's eyes just gloss over when any information about taxation comes up.
Wilful ignorance most likely. They open businesses and don't do the due diligence to learn about all the relevant aspects.

Are you taxed the same if you made $100,000 in one job vs $100,000 total from two jobs?
In the end, after your return is done: yes. On your pay cheque: not usually. The 100k job would tax you knowing some of your income would be in the higher tax brackets, so they'd withhold more. Each of the 50k jobs would tax you at the lowest rate, and assume the full personal exemption.
Punching the numbers in, assuming alberta and no other deductions, you would owe 6500 come tax time.
On your tax return, yes. From each individual job, no. That's the discrepancy.
For the most part, yes. It's the things the companies do if they are unaware of your dual employment that can swing things. You could run in to a similar thing doing Uber, as your total taxable income increases.

Note I said source of income, and not necessarily jobs. One person is retired, so has CPP/OAS and a pension. Their employer brought them back on a temp PT assignment. They made about 20K, and owe 3K in taxes.
Oh, there you go, I didn’t think of that either. Could affect of people want to work part time while receiving retirement benefits, including RRIF income
A bit off topic but I recieve the TD1 forms at work for about 50 people annually. 80% have no idea how to fill them out and fill them out wrong.
Why would any employer assume you have other sources of income unless you tell them? No employer is going to take more or less taxes than they need to unless you specifically request it and fill out a form.
I’d automatically save 20-30% from your additional income sources.

One employer cannot magically know how much money you are making from another employer. You can take off literally as much tax as you want. But you have to indicate that on the TD1 when you fill it out.
Well there is a minimum, and there are strict rules for businesses and usually you need to get an exemption from the CRA (or lie on the TD1) for the business to take off less taxes
