Employer that stops operating their business or making periodic remittances of source deductions and employer contributions in 2024

If you stop operating your business or permanently stop making periodic remittances of source deductions and employer contributions in 2024, you must file the version of the RL-1 slip (RL-1.T or RL-1) [see courtesy translations RL-1.T-T or RL-1-T] and the RL-1 summary (RLZ-1.ST-V or RLZ-1.S-V) that is in effect for 2024. Do not use previous versions.

The new RL-1 slip features:

• new box B.B for entering the total source deductions for the second additional contribution to the Québec Pension Plan (QPP);
• new information code B-2 for entering the total source deductions for the second additional contribution to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

Note that you must now enter in box B.A the total source deductions for QPP contributions (i.e. the basic QPP contribution plus the first additional contribution) that were entered in box B.For more information on calculating source deductions for the second additional contribution to the QPP, see the Guide for Employers: Source Deductions and Contributions (TP-1015.G-V).

Mandatory online filing of RL slips

Effective January 1, 2024, the mandatory online filing threshold for most RL slips is lowered from 51 to 6.

Therefore, as of that date, if you file more than 5 RL slips of the same type (except RL-13 or RL-24 slips) for a calendar year, you must file them online.

Under the Tax Administration Act, you are liable to penalties if you fail to use online filing when filing more than 5 RL slips of the same type (except RL-13 and RL-24 slips) after December 31, 2023.

For more information about sending RL slips to Revenu Québec, see Sending RL Slips and Summaries page.
