Service
Payroll & Remittances
Dependable payroll support with remittance-ready records — so your team is paid correctly and your CRA, WorkSafeBC and EHT obligations stay on track.
Payroll is the one area where a mistake is felt immediately — by your people and by the CRA. It has to be right every single cycle, and the compliance around it doesn’t forgive lateness.
Avora supports your payroll end to end: accurate processing each pay period, organised records, and remittance-ready figures for your CRA source deductions. We keep an eye on the obligations that trip up busy owners — WorkSafeBC, Employer Health Tax — and we keep everything documented so year-end T4 preparation is straightforward rather than stressful.
The result is a payroll function you don’t have to think about — dependable, compliant, and always documented.

Common questions
When are payroll remittances due?
It depends on your remitter type; for most small employers (regular remitters) it's generally the 15th of the month after the deductions were made. We keep to your dates. See payroll remittances in Canada.
Do you handle T4s?
We keep payroll records clean and support year-end T4 preparation, which are generally filed by the last day of February.
Do you give payroll tax advice?
We provide payroll bookkeeping and remittance support, not tax or legal advice — specific questions go to your accountant or the CRA.
