Every year employers in Canada are required to withhold, report and remit the statutory deductions taken from their employees' pay. These deductions should be reported to the federal government by the last day of February of the following year. The employers must report the amount paid to the employee and the statutory deductions withheld, from the employee on slip known as a federal T4 or T4A slip. In addition to federal government withholding, and remittance requirements by the Quebec employers, the Quebec employers must also report and remit Quebec Statutory deductions withheld during the year to Ministere du Revenu du Quebec by the last day of February of the following year. These amounts with held by the Quebec employers are reported on the Quebec Releve 1 (RL-1). The main difference between T4 and RL-1 is that T4s are used to report federal statutory deductions collected and remitted by the employers in Quebec and rest of the Canada, where RL-1 is used to report Quebec provincial taxes and statutory deductions withheld only for the Minsitere du Revenu du Quebec.
