That is relatively easy to determine when someone is an employee and receives a T4. However, when someone is "self-employed", whether as a sole proprietor or through a company, even if he or she receives a T4, it is thought that he or she may get financial benefits through the business he or she does not declare as income. If true, then that financial benefit may need to be added to the business owner's income and "grossed up". The gross up is to reflect the taxes not otherwise paid on the financial benefit, as child support is based on gross income. The sorts of personal financial benefits a business owner may receive include payment by the business of his or her vehicle expenses, cell phone, home office expenses, and meals and entertainment.
