Thanks!!
I guess the confusion comes from a friend of mine is a salaried employee who also gets commission based on sales. She is a full time employee with benefits. Both her regular salary and commission show up on the same paystub.
But she gets a T4 for the salary and a T4A for the self employed commissions. When she files her taxes she claims the salary as line 101 and commission as line 139 (or whatever). She has to have a statement of bus activities. Except she writes off zero expenses. Her gross bfs income is identical to her net bfs income.
I can’t figure out why her employer pays her this way. It’s so bizarre. Everyone I know who is base plus commissions just claims it all as employment income. Why would her employer be slplitting off the commissions like this? She’s not a contractor. She’s a full time employee.
Is something shady going on? She’s doesn’t have much say. Just filed her taxes based on the slips they send her.
