Will Canada Revenue have a copy of my T4 slip & will they send me a copy?

Question

At my address, it has been known for mail to be 'lost'. When I moved in Sept. I notifications were sent out advising of my new address. I was told by VISA that they had a code on file, something about 'address could not be found". Several weeks ago, my Investment Firm sent me a form to sign, in a two week period it hadn't arrived, so they sent me another. Suddenly the original envelope arrived. Where it was is a mystery.
What makes me very nervous is tax time when the T4's are issued. I can't really check with my employer because I retired Jan. 1, & don't have access to the building. The payroll dept. is notorious for not answering their phones, & I highly doubt they would make a long distance call to return my call. IF my T4 goes astray, will Revenue Canada have a copy on file, & would they send me a copy?

Answer 1

That's right. They'll make you wait until the one the employer should have sent has had time to get there before they'll mail you one.



Not all employers send the slips in right away, so it may be a little while before they do get the info from them.

Answer 2

Yes, CRA will have a copy of your T4 after they receive it from the employer. No they will not send a copy to you. The deadline for mailing T4s is February 28. Wait until March 15. If you don't have one by then, phone CRA and ask for a copy.
