2026 January Payroll Tax Changes
The following settings are based on the CRA document T4127–Payroll Deductions Formulas for Computer Programs – 122nd Edition. Effective January 1, 2026, the following changes must be made to your payrolls: Please remember that deduction code changes MUST be made to each one of your payrolls separately. Do NOT implement deduction changes (EI and CPP) until you are ready to run a January pay period per payroll.
The Global Federal and Provincial exemptions, tax tables and tax parameters will only need to be added once for all payrolls. You would add the new exemptions and tax tables using a new effective date of January 2026 or 202601. The new Global tables can be added at any time as those tables are date effective.
