In Ontario, if gross earnings (G0) aren't adequate for your ON EHT calculations, you’ll need to set up a Source Code Group in the remittance report. This Group allows you to select which earning, deduction, and benefit codes will be included in your ON EHT remittance calculation. If you haven't set up your remittance report yet, visit ON EHT - Installing the Remittance Report.
