Is there a Canadian payroll option that integrates with Zoho Books?

Yes. Zoho Payroll now has a Canadian edition that calculates federal and provincial taxes, CPP or QPP and EI, produces T4 and RL-1 slips and Records of Employment, and posts payroll journals to Zoho Books. Check the current Zoho Payroll Canada page for province coverage and remittance features. Third-party Canadian payroll tools can also post journals into Books.

For a long time, Canadian Zoho users had to run payroll in another product and enter journals in Books by hand. Zoho has since launched Zoho Payroll for Canada. It covers the core calculations, year-end slips and employee self-service, and it connects to Zoho Books so each pay run creates the accounting entries automatically. Direct deposit is offered through a payment partner.

Check the details before switching. Confirm your provinces are supported, how source deductions are remitted to the CRA, how vacation pay and benefits are handled, and whether features you need, such as multiple pay schedules, are in your plan. Because the Canadian edition is newer, read the current help pages and community posts for known limits.

If you already use an established Canadian payroll provider and are happy with it, you do not have to move. Most can export a payroll journal you import into Zoho Books, or connect through an integration tool. Map wages, employer contributions and liabilities to clear accounts, and reconcile the payroll clearing account each pay period.
