WorkSafeBC insurance provides protection for employers and benefits to workers who suffer a work-related injury or illness. Upon registration, you pay premiums, and in return you’re protected from potential lawsuits from workers who are injured or contract an occupational disease at work.

All employers are legally required to register for WorkSafeBC coverage unless the employer is exempt. An employer is an individual or firm who hires workers or subcontractors.

A T5018 is a T-Slip that is provided to subcontractors in the construction industry detailing how much they have been paid. It is similar to a T4 Slip that reports the amount of employment income that a taxpayer has received.

One of Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) strategies to combat the ever-growing underground economy is to require construction businesses to file an annual T5018 return.

All companies, individuals and corporations with construction as their primary business activity are required to file a T5018 annually for each subcontractor they have made payments to in the amount of $500.00 or more.

The CRA uses this information to identify subcontractors that do not file returns, report their full income or are not registered for GST / HST.

If you have any questions on T5018 forms, please give us a call.
