Payables & Expense Management is responsible for issuing payment for all non-salary University expenditures.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is Mount Royal University's method of payment for all payments made in Canadian funds. Vendors are notified of invoices paid by email.

Services Provided by a Non Resident Individual or Company

MRU is obligated to withhold Income Tax on payments to non-residents of Canada and remit to the CRA. A waiver of this obligation can be obtained by the non-resident by completing the CRA waiver application.

"Every payer, who makes a payment to a non-resident of Canada for services provided in Canada must withhold and remit an amount in accordance with the requirements under the Canadian Income Tax Act." This applies to individuals, partnerships, companies - both incorporated and unincorporated for fees, commissions or other amounts. The rate of withholding is typically 15% of the gross amount paid.

If you have questions regarding payment, the Payables & Expense Management staff will be happy to help you. You may contact the individual responsible for the vendor in question as listed in the contact section below or contact accountspayable@mtroyal.ca.
