- See the Remittance Schedules for Source Deductions and Employer Contributions for the due date. You must continue to file a remittance form for each period. If you inform us of the date on which you plan to start making source deductions again, we can authorize you not to file a remittance form for each period in which you do not make any source deductions.
- You must also give copy 2 of the RL slips to any former employees or former beneficiaries by the same date. For more information, see the following:
