# Filing EHT

Hypha files Employee Health Tax (EHT) amounts with the Government of Ontario once a year. The deadline for filing EHT is March 15th.

## Preparing EHT

The bookkeeper will prepare the EHT amount after the T4 is submitted to the CRA and the EHT Return Statement is received. The bookkeeper will send an e-mail to the Finance WG with the balance owing, amounts to fill out during filing, and the deadline to file and pay.

This will trigger Finance to take action.
