If you have an establishment in Québec, and an individual who is not your employee (but an employee of an employer that does not have an establishment in Québec) performs services for you in Québec, you may be deemed to have paid the employee's salary or wages if the following conditions are met:

• The employee reports for work at one of your establishments located in Québec.
• The service is performed as part of the employee's ordinary duties with his or her employer, in the course of your regular and ongoing activities.
• The service is of the same nature as services performed by employees of employers that carry on the same type of business as you.

Source deductions of income tax and Québec Pension Plan contributions

The salary or wages are not subject to source deductions of income tax or to Québec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions.

Other premiums and contributions

If all the above-mentioned conditions are met, you must take into account the employee's salary or wages in calculating the following:

• Québec parental insurance plan (QPIP) premiums;
• your contribution to the health services fund;
• your contribution related to labour standards.

You must also include the salary and wages in your total payroll used to calculate your health services fund contribution rate, your participation in workforce skills development and, if applicable, your contribution to the Workforce Skills Development and Recognition Fund (WSDRF).
