Completing the T5 Summary

You have to complete a T5 Summary if you prepare one or more T5 slips. Before you complete the T5 Summary, see the information in Filing methods.

Do not send us a summary with no T5 slips or a summary with no amounts to report.

Information return for the year ended December 31

Enter the four digits of the calendar year to which the information return relates.

Account number

Enter the 15 characters of your account number in this area.

The account number consists of three parts—the business number (BN), the program identifier and the reference number.

• The nine-digit BN identifies the business;
• The two-letter program identifier identifies the type of BN account, in this case, "RZ"; and
• The four-digit reference number identifies each account a business may have.

Please note, in order to create or maintain account numbers, you must be authorized to do so.

For more information on the account number, see What's new for T5?.
