You must file your Part XVIII and Part XIX information return electronically by using the CRA Internet file transfer (XML) or Web Forms applications. To find out when these applications are available, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).
Internet file transfer (XML) allows you to transmit original, amended or fixed returns with a maximum file size of 150 MB. All you need is a Web browser to connect to the Internet, and your software will create, print, and save your electronic information returns in XML format.
Multiple returns can be filed in one submission provided the total submission does not exceed the 150 MB restriction.
You should use a validating parser to check for the proper file format before submitting your file to the CRA. For more information, see How to file.
To get the CRA XML specifications and schema for Part XVIII and Part XIX information returns, go to Filing Information Returns Electronically (T4/T5 and other types of returns).
Web Forms is ideal for smaller returns, up to 100 slips. Use the Web Forms application to:
•file original, additional, amended, cancelled, directly from the CRA website
•calculate all of the totals for the summary
•create an electronic information return containing slips and a summary, which can be saved and imported at a later date
•print all your slips and your summary
•validate data in real time
For both the Internet file transfer (XML) and the Web Forms applications, you will need a Web access code (WAC) to file your information returns over the Internet, unless you use these applications through My Business Account or Represent a Client.
If you have misplaced or do not have a WAC, go to Online Web access code to access the CRA's WAC online service or call the business enquiries at 1-800-959-5525.
If you use the Internet file transfer (XML) or the Web Forms applications through My Business Account or Represent a Client services, you can file your Part XVIII or Part XIX information return without a Web access code by choosing the “File a return” service.
The file history also shows the details of each transmission and allows you to download and view the XML sent to the CRA: Go to the File menu, then click on Info. Click on History. Find the record of the transmission in the list. Click the first save button (with the lightning bolt) to save a copy of the XML file that was transmitted to the CRA.
Jan 25, 2024 · Filing T4 Slips Electronically (sage.com) As for adjusting T4 boxes and amounts - it is POSSIBLE to edit the .xml file (the electronic T4 file) manually, but there are ABSOLUTELY NO SAFETIES if you choose this option. I always recommend trying to fix things within Sage so that the .xml file is right the first time.
