Tax Information & T4s

Receiving T4as:

  • Any T4a forms arriving at our office will be directly emailed to you. Please note that we'll only send you a T4a if it arrives specifically for you. ML Talent does not issue T4s since we're not your employer.

Our Role:

  • ML Talent Agency serves as your agent, not your employer. We act as an intermediary between you and the production company.

  • The production company employs your services as an independent contractor, therefore you are responsible for remitting your own taxes. You will receive a T4a from production directly.

Tracking Earnings:

  • It's your responsibility to track your earnings. However, we can provide a record of your jobs from the prior year for a nominal fee of $10 plus HST per year.

Missing T4a:

  • If you're missing a T4a, contact the production company directly. Useful contacts include: ACTRA Toronto, EP Canada (416-923-9255), or Cast and Crew (416-406-2768). Provide your SIN number for assistance. REACH OUT TO PRODUCTION

Alternative Documentation:

  • In the event you don't receive a T4a, submitting your payment vouchers to your accountant can serve as an alternative for tax purposes.

Employment Eligibility:

At ML Talent Agency, compliance with Canadian employment regulations is fundamental:

  • Individuals must possess legal authorization to work in Canada or have a valid social insurance number and work permits ( if applicable ) as mandated by Canadian immigration and labor laws. You will be responsible for keeping your permits current. You will be asked to provide this documentation.

  • Your child needs a separate social insurance number / work permit. A study permit does not make your child eligible for work. Additionally, your child's employment cannot be covered under your social insurance number or work permit as a parent.

  • Upholding these regulations maintains integrity and accountability within our workforce, fostering a professional and legally sound environment for all performers.
