Amending T5 slips

After filing your information return, you may notice an error on the T5 slips. If so, you will have to prepare amended slips to correct the information. Give the recipient two copies of the slips. Do not include slips that have no changes.

Amending slips over the Internet

To amend a slip over the Internet, change only the information that is incorrect and retain all of the remaining information that was originally submitted. Use summary report type code “A” and slip report type code “A.”

For more information about amending information returns using the Internet, go to Filing information returns electronically.

Amending slips on paper

If you chose to file your amended return on paper, clearly identify the new slips as amended by writing “AMENDED” at the top of each slip. Make sure you fill in all the necessary boxes, including the information that was correct on the original slip. Send two copies of the slips to the recipient.

Send one copy of the amended slips with a letter explaining the reason for the amendment to your tax centre. Do not file an amended Summary. 

Cancelling T5 Slips

A cancelled slip is considered to be the same as an amended slip. For more information, see Amending returns.

Cancelling slips over the Internet

To cancel a slip over the Internet, do not change any information that was contained on the original slip. Use summary report type code “A” and slip report type code “C.”

Cancelling slips on paper

If you chose to file your cancellation on paper, clearly identify the new slips as cancelled by writing “CANCELLED” at the top of each slip.

Adding T5 slips

After you file your information return, you may discover that you need to send us additional slips. If you have original slips that were not filed with your information return, file them separately either electronically or on paper.

Adding slips electronically

We also accept additional original T5 slips in electronic format. For more information, see Filing Information Returns Electronically.

Adding slips on paper

If you file additional slips on paper, clearly identify the new slips by writing "ADDITIONAL" at the top of each slip. Send one copy of the additional slips to your tax centre

Note

Any additional T5 slips that are filed after the due date may result in a late filing penalty.

Replacing your T5 slips

If you issue slips to replace copies that are lost or destroyed, do not send us copies of these slips. Clearly identify them as "DUPLICATE" copies for your client, and keep a copy for your records.
