Key Points to remember:

• The Year End Close process moves all your current year data into the Last Year (LY) tables, and it doesn’t take the date into consideration.  For this reason, it is very important that you complete ALL 2022 Payrolls (step 1) and then complete at least through the year end file reset (step 5) before doing any 2023 payrolls.
• It is vital that you install the Year-End Update before the Year End Reset (Steps 4 and 5) because you are prompted during the Year End Reset to update Basic Personal Amounts.  If you miss this, you will need to restore from a backup.
• When you do the Year End Reset it changes the Basic Personal Amounts for employees. Depending on the Province it will either add a fixed amount or increase the amount by an indexation factor as determined by the Provincial Authority.
• This is an all-inclusive update.  

The 2022 Canadian Payroll Year-End Update is targeted to release in mid/late December 2022.
– No T4 or T4A form changes.
– No T4 or T4A XML changes
– RL1 form and XML changes for Quebec
