Emailing Tax Slips

You can quickly, easily, and securely email employee tax slips to a particular employee, a group of employees, or all your employees. Employee tax slips are password protected using the same password as the employee’s pay statements.

Additional Information
T2200 and TP-64.3-V slips can’t be sent via email. Please use an alternative method to provide these to your employees.

Before you can email your employee’s tax slips, they must be saved. For more information, go to Save Employee Tax Slips.

The Email Tax Slips option is only available for clients with Email Pay Statements.

If you only email tax slips to terminated employees, go to Delivering Tax Slips to Terminated Employees for more information.
