Are group health plans mandatory in Canada?
No, group health insurance plans are not mandatory in Canada.

Is health care a taxable benefit?
Generally, private health and dental insurance premiums paid by employers are not taxable benefits for employees in Canada.

We recommend consulting with a tax professional for detailed advice about your specific situation.
