Welcome to Citi Canada’s ACH Tax and Utility Payment Service. This customer guide outlines the procedures required to make payments via the Internet. This service was designed to benefit all corporate customers who require a simpler and faster way to pay business taxes. Utility payments utilize the same process to make payments.

Canada ACH Tax and Utility Payment Service Overview This service has been designed to facilitate payment and filing of various Federal and Provincial business taxes including GST, payroll source deductions and corporate income taxes. For each tax transaction registered, you specify the information required to file and/or pay the tax transaction. Your designated Citi account will be debited for the amount specified and paid to the recipient on value date. Payments are processed overnight. Transactions are reflected in your account activity on the due date. Entries do not immediately show in your Online Banking activity when you enter them. Payments must be entered by midnight (local time) the business day BEFORE the due date. If you are making payment ON the due date the payment is late and you may be subject to government penalties. The transactions have date logic built into them and a pop-up message will indicate that you are filing late. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) encourages you to file electronically and they accept transactions made through this service. For more information please visit their Web site at http://www.ccraadrc.gc.ca/eservices/payments/business/menu-e.html To enroll in this service please contact your Citi Account Manager for further information.

Help If you have specific inquiries relating to your Citi bank accounts, please contact your Account Manager or Client Manager. General inquiries may also be directed to Citi Customer Service at 1-416-947-4174 (Option 4) or [email protected]

3. Adding a New Payment Type The first screen that the new user will see is the Main Menu screen with function buttons and screen options, but there will be no payment types available for use. You must first add a payment type, and then use it to pay or file. This is done by selecting ‘Add Payment Type’ from the menu options at the bottom of the Main Menu screen.

Page 26

To select a payment type from the drop down list, press the ‘Next>>’ button at the bottom of the screen, and fill in the required fields of information. The payment types are grouped alphabetically by province. Most transactions are fairly simple to add, requiring only the business number assigned to you by CRA or the province, and some dates. All of the identifying numbers can be found on the paper copies of your filings, so be sure to have these handy when setting up your tax transactions for the first time. Also, utility account numbers are required when setting up Utility payments. Step 3.1: Select a payment type from the drop-down menu.

Page 27

Step 3.2: Input the account number and select “Add this Payment Type” button to confirm.

Page 28

Step 3.3: Select the “Add another Payment Type” to create another payment type or select the “Main Menu” button to return to the main menu. We recommend that you add all of your payment types before returning to the main menu screen.

A confirmation screen will appear once the payment type has been added – No approval is required. Tips • • •

• • • •

Corporation Installment Tax – the date required is the FISCAL YEAR BEGIN date. If the Fiscal Year End date is used, the default date logic will be incorrect. The ‘Special Accounting’ date choice should be used if your remitting schedule does not fit any of the other choices. With this option, all date logic and field edits are turned off and you are required to enter all fields of information. British Columbia (BC) Social Service Tax requires pre-approval by the province prior to use. For this transaction, the form is filled out online as part of the ‘Add Payment Type’ process. It is then sent electronically to BC who approves it and returns the confirmation. The transaction is then activated. There is a waiting period of up to three business days for this confirmation to be received. You will not receive a separate confirmation from the BC government. GST 34 is the form to use for filing your GST (it may result in a payment due, a nil payment or a refund). The Federal government will not send the refund amount (if any), electronically. GST 58 is not a GST filing. It is to be used for installment or arrears payments only. Ontario Retail Sales Tax (return) – is to be used when filing and paying periodic returns. Ontario Retail Sales Tax (payment) – is to be used when making a payment towards an assessment issued by the Ministry of Finance

The Ontario Family Responsibility Office payment requires a separate transaction setup for each employee case number. If your company submits payments on behalf of many employees you may prefer to use the MAG E-CLIPS program. The Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General (MAG) provides this Internet-based program free.

4. Making a Filing/ Payment Step 4.1: Once all the required transactions have been added you can file at any time. All of the added transactions will appear on the Main Menu Screen. Select a transaction by clicking on the radio button to the left of the transaction. Then press the ‘Make a Payment’ button on the bottom of the screen.

Page 30

Step 4.2: The selected transaction screen will appear.

Page 31

Step 4.3: Fill in the required fields and press the ‘Pay’ button.

Page 32

Step 4.4: There is a secondary ‘Please Confirm Payment’ screen once the ‘Pay’ button has been selected. Please check this screen carefully and make any corrections at this time, then select “Confirm” to process the payment:

Page 33

The transaction will be warehoused based on the payment date and a confirmation screen will be displayed along with the confirmation number. Once the transaction has been submitted, but not approved, any user can cancel the transaction from the “Transaction Approval List”. If an error was made you must go to the ‘View /Cancel Future Dated Transactions’ screen in order to cancel the payment, then re-enter it. Changes made to the Company Transaction Limit, Number of Authorizations Required and the Approval Limit will be effective only for future-dated payments, not for pending requests. Note: the maker of a payment cannot also authorize the same payment.

Page 34

The payment date of a transaction must be at least one business day in the future and can be up to one year in the future. The transaction will be processed on the payment date specified. The confirmation number with the description of the payment will appear on your bank statement when the funds are withdrawn from your account on the ‘Payment Date’. Federal Payroll Deductions submitted electronically can be weekly, twice monthly, or monthly. Customers who wish to make bi-weekly payments must choose the Weekly Payment Type and file every two weeks. Once the Weekly Payroll Deductions payment type has been added, you can make a payroll payment by entering values in the day-month-year fields labeled “Date Payment Made to Employees”. When you enter these values, the system will automatically calculate the payment due date and display the day-month-year information in the fields labeled “Payment Due Date”.

Tips: • The reporting period dates are on a drop-down list. Be sure to choose the correct month. • If you have multiple bank accounts, the account choices will be on a drop-down list. • Payment dates will default to the due date. If this is a weekend or holiday the system will automatically display a warning, then it will adjust the date to the next business day. Therefore, if your payments are due on a weekend or holiday, you should enter the payment two business days prior to the due date. • Payment dates can be changed to allow for earlier or post-dated payments. • Before you select the Pay button, review the information for accuracy. Most of the fields on a payment screen have built-in edit functions. These will check various fields such as valid dates and payment information. For example, some fields do not require the ‘cents’ to be input. Warning messages will explain the error and some have sample data. • Do not use commas to separate numeric values. For instance, enter five thousand dollars as 5000—not as 5,000. • Date and calculation logic are built into most transactions. If the dates seem to be incorrect, ensure that the data in the transaction setup is correct. This can be checked by going to the ‘Edit Payment Type’ from the Main Menu. • The due date is the date the payment is actually due to the government entities or agencies. In the case of most federal transactions there is a specific date, such as the 15th of the month for a monthly payroll, or the end of the month for GST (for example). The payment date is the date you are actually making the payment and require the funds to be debited from your Citi account. Usually these dates are the same, but you can pay a tax earlier, with the payment date being earlier than the due date. • The due date for making weekly or bi-weekly payroll remittance is by the third working day (not counting Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays) after the end of the following period: ƒ From the 1st through the 7th day of the month ƒ From the 8th through the 14th day of the month ƒ From the 15th through the 21st day of the month ƒ From the 22nd through the last day of the month For example, if you use a bi-weekly payroll and the date payment is made to your employees is the 11th of the month, the payroll period falls within the 8th through the 14th, which results in the Payment Due Date being the 17th.

5. Payment Processing Logic: The system will automatically determine the number of approvers required for each payment, based upon the Company Profile set up. When filing a tax refund (i.e. negative dollar amount), the Company Limit and Approval Limit will be irrelevant. Company Transaction Limit is the high level trigger for which the system will automatically add ONE additional approver on any payments that exceed this limit. If the company selects “No Company Limit” (i.e. Company Transaction Limit is $999,999,999.00 by default), then the company can select up to three approvers; any other amounts will be limited to up to two approvers. If the Company Profile set up requires one or more approvers, the user limit (maker) is irrelevant. Consider the following scenarios: Company Profile Setup: # of Authorizations Required = 1 Company Transaction Limit = $110,000.00 Approval (maker) Limit = $100,000.00 Payment Amount = $90,000.00

Outcome: Payment will require ONE approver, as it is within the company transaction limit.

A

Refund Amount = -$10,000.00 # of Authorizations Required = 1 Company Transaction Limit = $110,000.00 Approval (maker) Limit = $100,000.00 Payment Amount = $120,000.00

Refund will require ONE approver. Payment will require TWO approvers, as it has exceeded the company transaction limit.

B

Refund Amount = -$90,000.00 # of Authorizations Required = 0 Company Transaction Limit = $110,000.00 Approval (maker) Limit = $100,000.00 Payment Amount = $90,000.00

Refund will require ONE approver. Payment will be processed without approvers, as the payment is within both the company transaction limit and the approval (maker) limit.

C

Refund Amount = -$90,000.00 # of Authorizations Required = 0 Company Transaction Limit = $110,000.00 Approval (maker) Limit = $100,000.00 Payment Amount = $110,000.00

Refund will be processed without approvers.

D

E

Payment will require ONE approver as it has exceeded the approval (maker) limit, even though it is within the company transaction limit. This payment can only be approved by approval (checker) with an Approval Limit ≥ than the payment amount.

Refund Amount = -$90,000.00 # of Authorizations Required = 0 Company Transaction Limit = “No Company Limit” box is checked ($999,999,999) Approval (maker) Limit = $100,000.00 Payment Amount = $200,000.00

Refund will be processed without approvers. Payment will require ONE approver, as the payment has exceeded Approval (maker) limit.

Payment Amount = $50,000.00

Payment will be processed without approvers as it is within maker’s limit.

Refund Amount = -$90,000.00

Refund will be processed without approvers.

6. Approving a payment: In the main menu, the authorizer selects the pending payment from the “Transaction Approval List”, reviews the payment and selects the “Approve” button.

Page 37

Select a payment to view the details:

Click “Approve” to approve the pending payment, and then click “OK” to confirm.

Page 38

Select “Return to Pending Approval – List” to approve other pending payments, or select “Main Menu” to return to the main screen.

Page 39

7. Cancelling An Authorized Payment Step 7.1: Future-dated transactions can be cancelled by selecting ‘View/Cancel Future Transactions’ from the Main Menu. This will bring up a screen with various search criteria. Select the correct payment to cancel and press, “Cancel this Transaction”. Authorization of the cancellation is required.

Page 40

Enter the search parameters to retrieve payments:

Page 41

Select “Cancel this Transaction” to cancel an authorized transaction, before it is paid:

Press “OK” to confirm

Page 42

The payment will require authorization for it to be cancelled.

Page 43

Step 7.2: Cancellation of a previously authorized payment would require the same level of authorization as the initial payment input, as the below example shows: Select the payment from the ‘View/Cancel Future Transactions’ list:

Select “Approve” to create a payment cancellation request:

Page 44

Select “OK” to confirm.

A confirmation will be generated:

Page 45

Tips: • Payments can be cancelled up to midnight the day before the due date. • In the ‘Transaction History’ file, a cancelled payment will have two entries: (1) The original payment will have a status of Cancelled. (2) The request to cancel the payment will have a status of Cancellation Request. Both of these will have different confirmation numbers and are provided for audit trails. • Federal Government and Quebec NSF payments will show in the ‘Transaction History’ report as unprocessed payments. The original transaction will appear as Returned Item and the request will appear as Returned Item Audit Record. Payments to other Provincial agencies cannot be tracked in the same manner; NSF payments will not appear in the Transaction History. Refer to your Bank Statement (paper, on-line) for this transaction item.

8. Removing a Tax/Payment Type Any payment type can be removed (deleted) from the system by a user with Payment Type access and does not require any approval. This is done from the Main Menu through the ‘Remove Payment Type’ screen.

Page 47

Select “OK” to confirm:

If a payment type has any future-dated payments (whether approved or pending approval), user will not be able to remove it.

Page 48

9. Searching for Transactions The ‘View Transaction History’ and ‘View /Cancel Future Dated Transactions’ screens are similar; both have the same search criteria, such as: dollar amount, date and date range, and confirmation number. The results are listed by ‘payment’ date order with the EARLIEST transactions showing first. By clicking on the transaction, the complete detailed information will be displayed.

Page 49

Input any parameters to search an existing payment:

System will displaying a listing of results based on the required parameters:

Page 50

View payment details by selecting the payment on the list:

If there are no future-dated or pending transactions, nothing will show on the screen. If there is a single transaction, it will display automatically, by-passing the search criteria screen. All transactions are kept in the database and they cannot be purged or erased. Historical searches will display items for 13 months on-line. Information is kept in archives for seven years and can be retrieved if required.

Page 51

10. Language and Profile Information The language of the service defaults to the choice indicated at enrollment. It can be switched between English and French by using the ‘Modify Profile’ button on the Main Menu screen. This brings up the profile screen and all fields can be edited. These include the business name, contact name and phone number and the preferred language for the service. Once the changes have been made and saved, a system administrator will be required to approve. Please note that these changes apply only to the Tax Filing service and will not be reflected in any other Citi Service.

2. Is there a charge for the service? A service charge will be negotiated between you and your Citi Sales representative. This per payment transaction fee will be charged to your account. A one-time set-up charge of $25.00 per approval is applicable, no minimum monthly fees apply. 3. How do I receive a refund from the Federal Government? When you submit a transaction that indicates a refund is due, the government, after it receives the information, verifies it. If the information is valid, the government then issues a refund cheque. 4. How far in advance can I future-date a transaction? Most transactions can have a future date of up to one year. The only exception is transactions to the Quebec Government. Transactions to the Quebec Government can only have a future date of up to two months.

5. Can I enter negative numbers in fields in the transaction pages? No. All amounts that you enter in the fields in the transaction pages must be positive, although the values you enter may, when calculated, result in a negative amount and therefore qualify you for a refund. You cannot enter negative sales amounts for GST or any other Payment Type.
