RRSP contribution receipt – slip information for individuals
On this page
Tax year
Indicates the tax year for which the contribution receipt has been issued.
Contribution periods
The contribution periods for a tax year are:
- First period – last 10 months (March to December) of the tax year (ordinarily March 2nd to December 31st of the tax year); and
- Second period – first 60 days of the following year (ordinarily January 1st to March 1st of year following the tax year).
Contribution amount
The amount of contributions made, in dollars and cents, for the contribution periods noted above.
Refer to Schedule 7 to find out if you have to complete this schedule for unused contributions, transfers, withdrawals and repayments under the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) and the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP).
Otherwise, enter on line 24500 the total RRSP contributions made for both contribution periods noted above and enter on line 20800 your RRSP deduction you want to claim.
Contributor or annuitant information
The RRSP slip will indicate the contributor’s first and last name as well as the social insurance number (SIN).
If the contributor is not also the annuitant, the RRSP slip will indicate the annuitant’s first and last name as well as their SIN.
Note: The contributor must report the RRSP contribution and deduction on their income tax and benefit return, and not the annuitant.
When RRSP contribution receipts are issued
Issuers have until May 1 to send you your RRSP contribution receipts for the previous tax year. Even if you have not received all of your RRSP contribution receipts, you must file your income tax and benefit return on time to avoid any penalties or interest. Your RRSP issuer can confirm your contribution amounts.
