Amounts to Deduct
The support that you must deduct as the employer or payer organization cannot exceed the seizable portion of the support payer's income. The seizable portion is calculated according to the Code of Civil Procedure.
We may ask you to deduct:
- a percentage
- a fixed amount
Calculating the amounts to deduct
We calculate the seizable portion of income as follows:
- We determine the support payer's total income.
- We multiply the result by 30% (the seizure rate for a support payment debt).
Before deducting support, you must calculate all amounts that you normally deduct from the gross remuneration you pay periodically to the person.
Normal source deductions include:
- federal and Québec income tax
- Québec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions and Québec parental insurance plan (QPIP) premiums
- employment insurance premiums
- union dues
