Due date

You have to file your T5008 information return (slips) on or before the last day of February following the calendar year for which the information return applies. If the last day of February is a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday, your information return is due on the next business day. Note that several provinces and territories have their own unique holidays. Therefore, due dates may be affected depending on where you reside. For a list of public holidays, go to Public holidays.

We consider your return to be filed on time if we receive it or if it is postmarked on or before the due date.

You can send recipients an electronic copy of their T5008 slips. The recipient must have consented in writing or by email to receive the slips electronically.

Send the recipients' copies of the T5008 slips to their last known address or deliver them in person. You have to do this on or before the day you have to file the T5008 information return.
