Have you signed up to receive your electronic T4 slip? If you completed the consent form for the 2013 tax year, you will automatically receive your 2014 tax slip electronically. There is no need to complete the consent form again. Online tax slips will be available, through Campus Login, to current and former employees, who received taxable earnings or benefits in 2014. Online T4s are official tax slips accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). However, CRA requires employees to give their consent in order to access their tax slips electronically. Your consent will be valid for all subsequent tax years. New employees can grant consent for online T4s after they have received their first pay cheque. Employees who do not provide consent will have their 2014 T4s mailed to the address on file no later than February 28, 2015. Electronic T4s will be available sooner than the printed versions due to a lesser processing time. The consent form can be accessed through Campus Login (https://secure.upei.ca/cls/login.html) For employees who file their taxes electronically, printing the slip is optional. You will be able to read the values for each of the tax slip boxes online as you are completing your income tax return. You will always have access to slips under Campus Login should you need them now or in the future.
