CD 2008-002: Information Notice to Employees

Tax slips availability on the compensation web applications

The purpose of this notice is to inform you of enhancements being made to the Compensation Web Applications (CWA).

Effective February 18, 2008, you will have the ability to view and print the following tax slips on the Web via the CWA:

• T4 - Statement of Remuneration Paid
• T4A - Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income
• Relevé 1 - Employment Income and Miscellaneous Income
• Relevé 2 - Retirement Income and Annuities

These tax slips will be available through the Statement of Earnings (Pay Stub) application, which will be renamed "Statement of Earnings (Pay Stub) and Tax Slips". This application will allow you to view and print tax slips from current and previous departments. In the future, you will be able to access your tax slips for a maximum of seven (7) taxation years, starting with the 2007 taxation year.

All tax slips will continue to be printed and distributed as per the current process. Employees who have access to CWA will also be able to print their own copies. When filing your tax return, you will be able to use either the copy provided to you by your department or a copy printed through the CWA.

Please note that T4A-RCAs, T5s, Relevé 3s, and Statements of Qualifying Retroactive Lump Sum Payments (QRLSP) as well as manually amended T4s will not be displayed because of their low volume.

You will only be able to access this application if you are registered and enrolled in the CWA. If you are not registered, you can do so by selecting the "Getting Started" button at Compensation Sector.
