Upcoming CSST changes

Accelerated payments of CSST premiums and higher penalties coming in 2011

In January 2011, the CSST will require employers to pay their assessment premiums to the Ministère du Revenu du Québec on an accelerated basis, along with other governmental remittances.

Here's a quick overview of some of the changes that will be taking place:

• Employers will pay premiums based on actual assessable earnings rather than on estimated assessable earnings
• Premiums will be paid to the CSST simultaneously with other payroll source remittances, on a single Revenu Québec form
• The CSST wants to increase prevention and encourage good practices. Expect stiffer fines in 2011 as penalties are expected to triple!

Having access to a complete package of services, along with your membership in a performing prevention group mutual, is a winning proposition now more than ever!

To complement to the new CSST remittance schedule, AST is modifying your service agreement. Find out how here.

Once signed, the upgraded AST service agreement becomes effective immediately. There's no need to worry about any other deadlines as AST takes care of that for you! To learn more about the CSST changes:
