T4 - The Statement of Remuneration Paid - Box 14 explained

In Canada, the T4 slip, also known as the Statement of Remuneration Paid, is used to report income earned by an employee from a specific employer during a given tax year.

Box 14 on the T4 slip is used to report the total income earned by the employee during the year.

This information is used by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to determine the employee's tax liability for the year.

Employers are required to provide a T4 form to each of their employees, as well as to file a summary of all T4 forms with the CRA by the end of February of the following year.
