  Yes.
  There are additional transactions that often have to be made.

    Santoken> Complex?  Hardly.  Look, doing payroll (as I and my

  Do it for one country/province first.
  Then let's do it for a second one.
  After which, we can make it table driven.

  On a montly basis, not really in Ontario, either.
  At year end, if you have more than 75 employees then you have to
submit on disk. 

  Btw: speaking of submitting on disk, I have the Federal Canadian T2
corporate filing documentation. Alas, it is incomplete without a full
understanding of ANSI X.12. Anyone have that expertise and/or
documentation?
