All honorariapayments are considered taxable income under the Income Tax Act of Canada.In case where honorarium is paid to individuals not resident in Canada, it is still subjected to income tax withholding (usually 15%) unless prior approval was obtained from Revenue Canada.Employment income can consist of amounts you receive as salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, tips, gratuities and honoraria.
