Filing Relevé 1 Slips Electronically
Sage 50 Accounting currently supports filing original, replacement, amended, cancelled and test Relevé 1 (RL-1) slips via the Internet. Electronic filing speeds processing, so you can complete year-end tasks quickly. The Ministère du Revenu du Québec requires that you file your payroll tax forms and employee RL-1 slips by the last day of February (or the next business day, if this day falls on a Saturday or Sunday ) of the calendar year following the year to which they pertain.
For more information, visit Revenu Québec.
Note: If you are filing more than 50 slips, Revenu Québec requires you to file your slips electronically. You must be registered with Clic Revenu to file RL-1 slips over the Internet.
Prerequisites for filing RL-1 slips electronically
To file electronically, contact the Groupe de promotion de l'EDI et d'acquisition de données électroniques. You will be assigned the following:
- Transmitter number. This number is composed of two letters (NP) followed by six digits, and identifies you as the file submitter. If you do not have such a number, contact the Groupe de promotion de l'EDI et d'acquisition de données électroniques.
- User Code and Password. A user code and password to access the Web site of the Minstére.
- RL-1 Slip Number. Sage 50 Accounting uses this number to generate each employee's nine-digit E-file slip number.
Printing E-file slip numbers on employee copies
You are required to distribute copies of the RL-1 slips to your employees. 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.
