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.

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

Individuals must possess legal authorization to work in Canada or hold valid work permits 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 work permit, as a study permit alone is not enough. Additionally, your child's employment cannot be covered under your 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.
