Hello all,
I am planning to deploy Tryton on my family small business which currently uses QuickBooks.
My main question is if Tryton has a localization for Canada, AB. Is the accounting module ready for Canadian taxes and employees calculations, like T4 forms, etc.
Thank you for any help.
To my knowledge I do not think anyone has published a chart of account for Canada.
But it should not be too difficult to create one following How to create your country localization module for accounts.
For the taxes the GST is quite similar to the European VAT so it should not be difficult to define them. I guess you will need Account Tax Rule Country Module to define the taxes for each province.
For payroll Tryton does not have any module for now (here it is often externalized by SMB).
What is the meaning of SMB? Small or Medium Business?
SMB = “Small to Medium Business” and generally means the same as SME = “Small to Medium Enterprise”
Some countries/jurisdictions precisely define terms for reporting, taxation, etc. From Wikipedia, Canada defines an SMB as having up to 500 employees. In the UK, an SME must meet two out of three criteria: 1) turnover (gross revenue) less than £25m, 2) fewer than 250 employees, 3) gross assets less than £12.5m. The EU reportedly defines SMBs as 10 to 250 employees, but member states may each have their own definition.
Dale,
I thought that SMB in that context was about a software called SMB for managing the payroll.
The Spanish definition for Enterprise given number of employees:
1-10 Micro
11-50 Small
51-250 Medium
Hi @cheche! Nice to see Wikipedia being validated once in a while 
I understood @ced to mean that an SMB will likely use a seperate payroll services provider who deals with all taxation and government reporting requirements. It would seem staying on top of tax rates and reporting rules would require considerable effort for an SMB and it would be simpler to outsource (unless perhaps you are a Tryton service provider with many clients having many employees in the same country).
I expect as an SMB using an external payroll provider, I would create a Tryton report every pay period listing employees and gross pay and send it (or import it to) the service provider. In Canada, Workday.com seems popular with small professional offices (only as an example, not an endorsement).
I suspect you may already understand this though. How big is your company (or your clients) and how do you manage payroll?
Just Me. Thanks God!.
My Clients are mostly Small Business and a few Medium size. And most of them externalize but not only payroll, mostly taxes and legal matters.
