Relevé 1 Slips

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:

• Employment income before deductions
• Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) premiums
• Quebec tax deducted
• Taxable benefits
• Employee and employer information

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 Quebec requires you to file your slips electronically.

RL-1 Summary (Summary of Source Deductions and Employer Contributions)

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 50 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.

Printing RL-1 slips

You can use Sage 50 Accounting to print RL-1 slips on pre-printed forms or on plain paper.

• You can use Sage 50 Accounting to print copy 1 of the RL-1 slip for paper filing. In this case, you should set up the form options to print 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.

Filing electronically

Sage 50 Accounting offers the option to electronically file (EFILE) your RL-1 slips via the Internet. 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.

General prerequisites for filing RL-1 slips

• Reviewing the values on the T4 and RL-1 Reporting tab in the employee records and making all required adjustments.
• Ensuring that you have made all required adjustments to employee paycheques for the payroll calendar year.
• Checking your company information in Sage 50 Accounting to make sure a business number, company name, and address are entered.
• Making sure each employee record has a SIN, first and last name, full address including their province of residence. You should also check to see if you have entered a RPP/DPSP Registration Number, any pension adjustments, QPIP, and Insurable Earnings adjustments.
