Distributing the T5 slip

You can send recipients an electronic copy of their T5 slips, by the last day of February following the calendar year to which the information return applies. The CRA intends to introduce the following criteria for electronic distribution:

• You will be able to distribute T5 slips electronically by making them accessible to the recipients on a secure portal from which they can print the slip in a secure manner. With written consent from the recipient, you will be able to distribute T5 slips using email.
• In all other cases, where the recipient does not have access to a secure portal from which they can print the slip in a secure manner or when the recipient requests it, you will need to provide two copies of the slip, in paper format, to the recipient in person or by mail.
   

If you are filing on paper, send us each T5 slip (three slips printed per sheet), along with the T5 Summary, by the last day of February following the calendar year to which the information return applies.

Send these forms to:

Send two copies of the T5 slip to the recipient by the last day of February following the calendar year to which the information return applies.

You do not have to keep a copy of the T5 slips. However, you have to keep the information from which you prepared the slips in an accessible and readable format.
