Important T4 Slip Information for New Canadians
Keep an Eye on Your Mailbox It’s that time of year when you can expect some important mail, and one of those items is likely your T4 slip. Employers have until the last day of February to send out T4 slips to their employees. This document, officially known as the Statement of Remuneration Paid, provides essential information about your income and income tax deductions for the tax year. While it’s exciting to see how much you earned (yay!), it can be a little disheartening to see the amount of income tax that was deducted (sigh).
Multiple Jobs, Multiple T4s
If you worked multiple jobs within the same tax year, you will receive a T4 slip from each employer. Your employers will either mail the T4 to your address, upload it to a secure online platform, or if you work in an office setting, they may hand it directly to you.
Stay organized and keep an eye out for these important T4 slips to ensure you have all the necessary information when it comes time to file your taxes.
