Please note:  The Room & Board is subtracted from the NET Salary after calculating the amounts.

There is a lot of misleading and false information posted on the web concerning this point. I urge you to call CRA (Canada Revenue Agency ) for yourself to clarify this rule. We contacted a senior officer at 1-800-959-5525 and we were assured that the information posted on this site is accurate.

Remember that you must pay the nanny's income tax, CPP and EI; employers are also required to pay CPP (1X) and EI (1.4X) on the employee BUT this does not come off the nanny's salary, rather it is over and above it

As an employer you are required to give the employee two T4 slips by the end of February each year (Revenue Canada sends the appropriate forms and the appropriate times). A Record of Employment is also required for the Nanny upon request.
