However, RL-31 statements must be produced for any unit where rent was paid or payable by a tenant or subtenant on December 31st. That\u2019s why our management software allows for RL-31 statement production in the first week of January.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nYou have until the last day of February to submit copy 1 of the RL-31 statement (RL-31) to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec.

This includes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Preparer number and statement numbers:<\/span><\/b> Provided by Revenu Qu\u00e9bec. If you have produced RL-31 statements in previous years, you already have your preparer number. Unless there is a significant change in your property portfolio, you won\u2019t need to request it every year. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Address of each unit:<\/span><\/b> Ensure you have the complete address of each apartment (number, street, apartment).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Owner\u2019s addresses:<\/span><\/b> Record the owner\u2019s addresses correctly (number, street, apartment).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Tenant\u2019s addresses:<\/span><\/b> You will need the complete address of each tenant (number, street, apartment).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/span><\/div>
Step 2: Fill out the RL-31 Statement Form<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\nCorrectly filling out the RL-31 statement is essential to ensure compliance with Revenu Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s requirements. Here are the steps to fill out this form:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- The RL-31 statement consists of two copies: Copy 1 (RL-31), intended for Revenu Qu\u00e9bec, and Copy 2 (RL-31.CS), reserved for tenants.<\/span><\/li>\n
- For Copy 1, indicate the year, the statement code (R for an original statement, A if modified, D if canceled), the number of people who signed the lease (box B), and the address of the unit (box C). Don\u2019t forget to indicate your address and sign at the bottom of the statement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- For Copy 2, transfer the information from Copy 1 to the appropriate places, including tenant information at the bottom of the document before signing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can fill out the RL-31 statement in 3 ways:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n- Use <\/span>the<\/span> online portal on the Revenu Qu\u00e9bec website<\/span><\/u><\/a> <\/u>available from December 1st.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Use suitable software meeting Revenu Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s specifications. Note that you can outsource the preparation of your RL-31 statements, as well as your T4 and RL-1<\/a> statements, to Hopem. <\/span><\/li>\n
- Fill it out on paper if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note that it is also possible to obtain the RL-31 statement by phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/span><\/div>Step 3: Sending the RL-31 Statement to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\nAfter carefully filling out the RL-31 statement, the next step is to send it to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec. Here\u2019s how to proceed:<\/span><\/p>\nElectronically:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- For those producing more than 50 statements, sending must be done compulsorily online, either via an XML file using certified software or Revenu Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s online service.<\/span><\/li>\n
- If you produce fewer than 51 statements, sending can be done either online or by mail.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Paper submission:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- For paper submission, send your statements to the mailing address of Revenu Qu\u00e9bec.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Ensure you keep a copy of the statements for your records.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You must provide copy 2 of the statement (RL-31.CS) to each tenant and subtenant whose name and address are on copy 1 that you produced for the unit. You can hand them to them in person or send them by mail. Note that to transmit them electronically, you must have obtained their consent beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\nStatements must be sent to Revenu Qu\u00e9bec and given to tenants no later than the last day of February. Penalties will be applied for delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
