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 Quebec 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 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.
You can use Sage 50 Accounting to print RL-1 slips on plain paper and to print copy 1 of the RL-1 slip for paper filing. 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 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.
