Article Summary

This should save you ~10 minutes of reading

In Canada, tax slips like T4, T4A, and T5 report different types of income and help the CRA track earnings and deductions for accurate tax filing. A T4 slip reports employment income and deductions such as CPP, EI, and income tax withheld by employers. A T4A slip reports non-salary income such as pensions, commissions, scholarships, research grants, or other payments. A T5 slip reports investment income, including interest, dividends, and certain foreign or royalty earnings. Individuals may receive multiple slips depending on their sources of income during the year. These slips must be used when filing tax returns to ensure income is reported correctly. For the 2025 tax year, the filing deadline is April 30, 2026, while self-employed individuals can file until June 15, 2026. Global FPO provides expert tax support to help individuals and businesses manage tax slips and file accurately.
