COIDA Return Submission Assistance

Your annual return of earnings keeps you in good standing with the Compensation Fund. We prepare it accurately and submit it on time.

Return of earnings

One return a year keeps you in good standing.

The return of earnings (ROE) is an annual declaration of the earnings you paid to employees. The Compensation Fund uses it to calculate your assessment.

Returns are submitted during the annual filing period. Late or inaccurate returns can lead to penalties and may affect your letter of good standing, so accuracy and timing both matter.

Submit on time every year to keep your letter of good standing valid.
