General guidelines for completing T4 slips and T4 summaries

Identification and pre-numbered boxes

Other information

The "Other information" area at the bottom of the T4 slip has boxes for you to enter codes and amounts that relate to employment commissions, taxable allowances and benefits, deductible amounts, fishers' income, and other entries if they apply.

The boxes are not pre-numbered. Enter the codes and amounts that apply to the employee.
