Relevé 1 (RL-1) slips list the earnings and tax information you must submit to the Quebec government at the end of the calendar year for employees living in Quebec. This information includes:
You can file paper copies of RL-1 slips, or you can file them electronically. However, in both cases, you have to provide copies to your employees. Note: If you are filing more than 50 slips, Revenu Québec requires you to file your slips electronically.
An RL-1 Summary (Summary of Source Deductions and Employer Contributions) lists the total values from amounts reported on related RL-1 slips, and is submitted when you file your RL-1 slips. Sage Simply Accounting does not print this summary form with your RL-1 slips. You can fill in this form on the Revenu Québec web site, or print out the form from the web site, fill in the information and mail it in.
Revenu Québec requires a specific form for paper amendments (RL-1.M), as well as an amended summary.
You can use Sage Simply Accounting to print RL-1 slips on pre-printed forms or on plain paper. If you are using pre-printed forms, we recommend you do a test print so that you can adjust the print alignment and font settings if necessary. If you want the employee E-file slip numbers to appear on your printed RL-1 slips, you must file the RL-1 slips electronically before you print them.
Sage Simply Accounting offers the option to electronically file (EFILE) your RL-1 slips via the Internet or on electronic media. For more information about filing RL-1 slips and summary electronically, see About Filing RL-1 Slips Electronically. You must be registered with Clic Revenu in order to file RL-1 slips over the internet.
