Tax rates, regulations, and compliance guides for Canadian restaurants.
Always consult the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or a qualified accountant for advice specific to your situation. Tax regulations can vary by province and may change over time.
Short videos on fair tip-outs, controlled tips, and running payroll without the spreadsheet scramble.
This video walks you through how Tippo works. Splitting the tips at your restaurant can be time consuming, confusing and hard to manage. Tippo eliminates the headache and makes doing the tip out quick, easy and fair.
Tippo is the tip-out app for Canadian restaurants — fair splits and no spreadsheet scramble.
If your restaurant operates under controlled tips — where the employer or manager controls how tips are distributed — you are required to pay CPP (Canada Pension Plan) and EI (Employment Insurance) contributions on those tips. This is not just a requirement — it's a benefit for your staff.
Staff build meaningful CPP retirement benefits, EI coverage provides protection during job loss, and there are no year-end tax surprises for employees.
Tippo helps restaurants maintain transparency and compliance, regardless of which tip management model they use.
