Amending T4A-NR slips

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 on how to amend information returns using the Internet, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).

If you amend slips using the Internet, the CRA may contact you to find out why.

Amending slips on paper

If you choose to file your amended return on paper, clearly identify the slips as amended slips 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 amended slips to the non-resident, in the same way you sent the originals.

Send one copy of the amended slips to any tax centre with a letter explaining the reason for the amendment.

Do not file an amended T4A-NR Summary.

Adding T4A-NR slips

After you file your T4A-NR information return, you may discover that you need to send additional slips. If you have original slips that were not filed with your return, file them separately either electronically or on paper.

Adding slips over the Internet

To file additional slips electronically, see Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).

Adding slips on paper

When you fill out 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 any tax centre with a letter explaining the reason for the addition. Do not file an additional T4A-NR Summary.

Cancelling T4A-NR slips

Cancelling slips over the Internet

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

For more information on how to cancel information returns using the Internet, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).

If you cancel slips using the Internet, the CRA may contact you to find out why.

Cancelling slips on paper

If you choose to file your cancelled return on paper, clearly identify the slips as cancelled slips by writing "CANCELLED" at the top of each slip.

Send one copy of the cancelled slips to any tax centre with a letter explaining the reason for the cancellation.

Replacing T4A-NR slips

If you issue T4A-NR slips to replace copies that are lost or destroyed, do not send a copy to the CRA. Clearly identify them as "DUPLICATE" copies, and keep them with your records.
