In prior releases, the Canadian Taxation infotype (0224) was used to store taxation, organizational and employee master data that was required by the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency, le Ministère du Revenu du Québec and all employment jurisdictions for the purpose of tax calculation. However, as of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_HR 470), the Canadian Taxation infotype (0224) has been discontinued and is now obsolete, although data stored in Canadian Taxation infotype (0224) records that were created in prior releases is not affected by the discontinuation of this infotype. Prior data remains accessible, even though this infotype is now inactive.

As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_HR 470), the Canadian Taxation infotype (0224) has been supplanted by the following four new infotypes:

• The Tax Assignment infotype (0461)
• The Provincial Tax infotype (0462)
• The Federal Tax infotype (0463)
• The Additional Tax Data infotype (0464)

Due to the discontinuation of the Canadian Taxation infotype (0224) in R/3 Enterprise, certain conversion activities must be performed by every customer who upgrades from a prior release to R/3 Enterprise. If you are upgrading from a prior release to R/3 Enterprise, it is imperative that you perform the conversion activities described in the Release Note: Mandatory Payroll Canada Conversion Reports for R/3 Enterprise Upgrades before you run payroll in a productive R/3 Enterprise system.

If you are implementing R/3 Enterprise, but not as an upgrade customer from a prior release, then you may disregard the Release Note indicated above.
