Attention Landlords in Quebec: Don’t Forget the RL-31 Slip!

If you’re a landlord renting out a property in Quebec, there’s an important annual tax requirement you can’t afford to overlook! By February 28th of each year, you must provide your tenants with a Relevé 31 (RL-31) slip. This document is essential for your tenants to claim the Solidarity Tax Credit when they file their taxes.

What Happens If You Don’t Provide the RL-31?

Failing to submit the RL-31 form can lead to serious consequences:

  • Financial Penalties: Revenu Québec imposes a fine of $25 per day, up to a maximum of $2,500.
  • Tenant Difficulties: Without the RL-31, your tenants won’t be able to apply for the Solidarity Tax Credit, which could create frustration and potential disputes.

How to File the RL-31 Form

Avoid penalties and keep your tenants stress-free by following these simple steps:

  1. Visit the Revenu Québec website and navigate to the RL-31 form section.
  2. Fill out the form with the necessary details about your rental property and tenants.
  3. Send the completed RL-31 slip to your tenant—this can be done via mail, email, or in person.

Why It’s Important

Submitting the RL-31 is not just about compliance—it’s about maintaining a smooth landlord-tenant relationship. By fulfilling this responsibility on time, you prevent unnecessary complications and ensure your tenants receive the benefits they’re entitled to.

Act Now!

The deadline is February 28th. Set a reminder, complete the process early, and avoid last-minute stress. A few minutes of effort now can save you from hefty fines and tenant complaints later!
