Social Insurance Numbers are required for T4A’s.
T4A’s are mailed out in February of each year to Co-op members who received a member refund in excess of $100 in April the preceding year.
Armstrong Regional Co-op is required by CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) to report all member refunds paid in excess of $100 and to withhold 15% of the amount earned over $100 and remit it to the government. The T4A reflects the member refund made to you in the previous year. Member Refunds are not necessarily taxable. Member Refunds earned on consumer goods (i.e. Gasoline for private car use) are not subject to tax. You are entitled to claim the tax withheld as outlined on your T4A as a credit when you file your personal income tax.
