Filing on paper – 1 to 50 slips

If you file 1 to 50 slips, we strongly encourage you to file over the Internet using Internet file transfer (XML) or Web Forms. However, you can file up to 50 slips on paper.

If you need more paper copies, you can order a maximum of 50 single-page slips at forms and publications or by calling 1-800-959-5525. There are two slips per page intended for printers, for typing or to be filled out by hand.

If you choose to file your return on paper, mail it to:

Ottawa Technology Centre
875 Heron Road
Ottawa ON K1A 1G9

Fill out one copy of the T4 slip for each employee and send them with your T4 Summary. Enter the information for two different employees on one sheet. You must keep a copy of the T4 slips and the T4 Summary for your files.

Note

You must file information returns by Internet if you file more than 50 information returns (slips) for a calendar year. For more information, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).

Balance due

If you send a payment to cover the balance due with your return, it is considered late. Penalty and interest charges may apply.

Whether you file electronically or file a paper return, you can make your payment in several different ways. For more information, go to Make a payment to the Canada Revenue Agency or see Guide T4001, Employers’ Guide – Payroll Deductions and Remittances.

Notes

Regardless of your filing method, if you are a threshold 2 accelerated remitter, you must remit any balance due electronically or in person at your Canadian financial institution.

We will charge you a fee for any payment that your Financial institution refuses to process. If your payment is late, we can also charge you a penalty and interest to any amount you owe.
