About this content

This content is a simplified rewording of the official Revenu Québec publication: RL-15.G(2025-10).pdf, prepared to help citizens and entrepreneurs better understand their tax obligations. It does not constitute legal or tax advice. Refer to the official document for any decision.

Who this document is for

This guide is intended for partnerships, as well as agents or representatives who hold interests in a partnership on behalf of investors, when they must prepare Slip 15s for the members of that partnership, also called partners. It concerns in particular:

  • partnerships that must allocate to their members income, losses, deductions, tax credits or other tax amounts;
  • limited partnerships;
  • partnerships that are tax shelters;
  • partnerships having individual members, corporations, trusts or other partnerships;
  • partnerships having income from Canadian or foreign sources;
  • partnerships having amounts related to resources, flow-through shares, tax credits, cryptoassets or eligible property;
  • persons responsible for preparing, amending, cancelling, transmitting or issuing Slip 15s. The guide applies to fiscal years ending in 2025.

Context and objective

Slip 15 is used to transmit to the members of a partnership the tax information allocated to them for a fiscal year. This information allows members to correctly complete their income tax return. The guide explains:

  • when a Slip 15 must be prepared;
  • for whom it must be prepared;
  • how to transmit it to Revenu Québec and to the members;
  • how to correct, cancel or complete a slip;
  • how to allocate amounts among partners;
  • how to complete each box on Slip 15;
  • which supplementary information codes to use;
  • which special rules apply depending on the type of partner or amount. The legislative references mentioned in the document refer in particular to the Tax Administration Act, the Taxation Act, the Taxation Regulation and the Act respecting the legal framework for information technology. The document also indicates that neutral or gender-inclusive wording is preferred where the context allows it.

Complete and detailed information

Main changes for 2025

The 2025-2026 budget provides for the end of two additional deductions:

  • the additional deduction for certain exploration expenses incurred in Québec;
  • the additional deduction for certain surface mineral exploration expenses incurred in Québec. When these expenses are incurred under the flow-through share regime, these deductions can no longer be claimed for flow-through shares issued after March 25, 2025, except in the following situations:
  • the shares are issued before January 1, 2026 following an application for a preliminary prospectus receipt filed no later than March 25, 2025;
  • the shares are issued following an announcement made no later than March 25, 2025, and the offering memorandum form was filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers no later than May 31, 2025.

These additional deductions are also not available for such exploration expenses incurred directly by a partnership after March 25, 2025, whether the partnership acts as an operator or as a member of an operating partnership.

Abolition of the capital gains deduction on resource properties

The capital gains deduction on resource properties, which could generally be claimed by an individual other than a trust when the partnership of which the individual is a member disposed of certain resource properties, is abolished for properties disposed of after March 25, 2025. It may, however, still be claimed for a resource property that falls under one of the following cases:

  • a flow-through share issued before March 26, 2025 or an interest in a partnership acquired before that date;
  • a flow-through share issued or an interest acquired before January 1, 2026, if the issuance or acquisition results from an application for a preliminary prospectus receipt filed no later than March 25, 2025;
  • a flow-through share issued or an interest acquired following a public announcement made no later than March 25, 2025, if the offering memorandum form was filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers no later than May 31, 2025. When the property is an interest in a partnership that holds a covered flow-through share, that share must also meet the applicable conditions.

Functional currency code

When a corporation that is a member of a partnership has chosen to file its income tax return in a functional currency, Slip 15 must indicate code 202 in a supplementary information box, followed by the code of the currency used. The permitted currencies are:

CurrencyCode
U.S. dollarUSD
EuroEUR
Pound sterlingGBP
Australian dollarAUD
YenJPY

New codes relating to cryptoassets

If a partnership earns, during a fiscal year, business income or losses, capital gains or losses, or property income or losses from cryptoassets, these amounts must be allocated to its members. The new supplementary information codes are:

CodeInformation to enter
1-12Net business income or net business loss from cryptoassets
12-17Capital gains or losses from cryptoassets
14-7Gross business income from cryptoassets
No separate code is provided for property income from cryptoassets. These amounts must be added to other property income and entered in the relevant boxes.

Changes to expense codes for the resource tax credit

The 2025-2026 budget changes the codes to be entered in box 73 of Slip 15 for certain expenses that may qualify for the resource tax credit. Codes whose description is changed:

CodeDescription
A.1 or B.1Mining exploration expenses in the Middle North and Far North incurred before March 26, 2025
A.2 or B.2Mining exploration expenses elsewhere in Québec incurred before March 26, 2025
CNatural resource expenses incurred before March 26, 2025
DRenewable energy and energy conservation expenses incurred before March 26, 2025

D.1Renewable energy and energy conservation expenses incurred after March 25, 2025

Trust account number

When a member of a partnership is a trust, its account number must now be provided. This number appears on federal form T3RET.

Function of Slip 15

Slip 15 allows a partnership, or an agent or representative holding interests on behalf of investors, to communicate to each member the tax amounts allocated to them. These amounts may include in particular:

  • income;
  • losses;
  • capital gains or losses;
  • deductions;
  • resource-related expenses;
  • assistance amounts;
  • tax credits;
  • information related to a tax shelter;
  • information on flow-through shares;
  • information needed to calculate certain credits or taxes. A separate Slip 15 must be prepared for each member of the partnership. Each slip must contain all required information. Negative amounts must be preceded by a minus sign . The version of Slip 15 used must correspond to the version of the Partnership Information Return (TP-600) applicable to the fiscal year concerned. The TP-600.G and RL-15.G guides must also correspond to the relevant year.

Preparing Slip 15

Permitted preparation methods

The information must be provided using the prescribed Slip 15. The slip may be prepared using:

  • software authorized by Revenu Québec and purchased by the preparer;
  • software designed by the preparer, if it meets Revenu Québec requirements;
  • the fillable PDF form;
  • the paper form provided by Revenu Québec.

No financial compensation is granted to persons who use their own slips.

Filing deadline

Within the same deadline as that provided for filing the Partnership Information Return (TP-600), you must:

  • transmit the Slip 15s to Revenu Québec;
  • give the Slip 15s to the members of the partnership;
  • attach to the slips given to the members the document Instructions for Members of the Partnership (RL-15.EX).

Transmission to Revenu Québec

Since January 1, 2024, Internet transmission in an XML file using authorized software is mandatory if more than 5 Slip 15s are prepared. If fewer than 6 Slip 15s are prepared, they may be transmitted:

  • by Internet in an XML file using authorized software;
  • by mail on paper. For paper slips, only copy 1 must be sent to Revenu Québec. If the slips are transmitted by Internet, copy 1 of the paper slips must not be sent. The slips must, however, be kept on paper or technological media, as applicable. The information return, which serves as the summary of the Slip 15s, must be transmitted on paper by mail.

Transmission to members

If the slips are prepared on paper, copy 2 must be given to members in person, by mail or by another means. If the slips are transmitted electronically, the member must have given prior written consent. This consent may be transmitted electronically, by mail or otherwise. The consent must clearly state that:

  • the member agrees to receive Slip 15 electronically;
  • this consent remains valid until the member cancels it. The member must also be informed of the ways to revoke their consent. When transmitting electronically, you must in particular:
  • protect personal information;
  • be able to verify the identity of the person giving consent;
  • transmit the slips in a format that prevents modification of the data. The document RL-15.EX must accompany Slip 15, whether transmission is by paper or electronically.

Amendment, cancellation and additional slips

Amended slip

An amended slip is used to replace a slip already transmitted that contains one or more errors, for example an incorrect amount. An amended slip must not be prepared when the error concerns:

  • the member’s address: in this case, the original slip must only be retransmitted to the member;
  • the member’s identity: in this case, the slip must be cancelled and a new slip must be prepared.

Cancelled slip

A cancelled slip is used to delete a slip transmitted in error or a slip containing an identity error, for example in:

  • the social insurance number;
  • the first name;
  • the surname.

Slip transmitted by Internet

Amended or cancelled slips may be transmitted by Internet. The applicable instructions are those in guide ED-425.

Slip transmitted on paper

To amend a paper slip already transmitted:

  • prepare a corrected slip;
  • indicate that it is amended;
  • enter the letter A in the “Slip code” box;
  • enter the corrected amounts;
  • copy the unchanged amounts from the original slip;
  • enter, in the “No. of last slip transmitted” box, the number of the last slip to be corrected. To cancel a paper slip:
  • make a photocopy of the original slip;
  • indicate that it is cancelled;
  • enter the letter D in the “Slip code” box;
  • make sure the original slip number is legible. Whenever a Slip 15 is amended or cancelled, an amended information return must also be prepared.

Additional slip — insufficient blank boxes

If the boxes reserved for supplementary information are not sufficient for a member, an additional slip must be prepared. This additional slip must contain only:

  • a sequential number different from that of the first slip;
  • the identity information of the partnership and the member;
  • the year concerned;
  • the slip code;
  • the data in boxes 39 to 42 of the first slip;
  • the supplementary information that could not be entered on the first slip. The other data from the first slip must not be copied.

Additional slip — other cases

An additional slip may also be required for other reasons, for example when there are several transactions relating to property eligible for box 10. In that case, only the relevant boxes must be completed, in addition to the minimum information required for an additional slip.

Penalties

Each member of a partnership must ensure that the partnership files its information return and its Slip 15s for each fiscal year. Penalties may apply in particular if:

  • Slip 15 is filed late;
  • more than 5 Slip 15s are prepared and are not transmitted by Internet.

Allocation of amounts among partners

In general, income, gains, losses, deductions and other amounts are allocated according to the partnership agreement. However, certain amounts must be allocated according to the participation percentage, also called the agreed proportion. This percentage corresponds to each partner’s share of the partnership’s income or losses for the fiscal year. If both the partnership’s income and loss are zero for the fiscal year, the percentage must be determined as if the partnership had had income of $1 million. This rule applies in particular to:

  • total income from forestry operations used in calculating business income, box 1;
  • cooperative patronage dividends received in preferred shares, box 9;
  • amounts included in the paid-up capital of member corporations, boxes 24a to 24c;
  • tax credits, boxes 70 to 76. The participation percentage must be entered:
  • in box 36;
  • in box 74 when a tax credit must be allocated. In the case of an intermediary partnership, the percentage in box 74 may be lower than that in box 36. Other adjustments may be required depending on:
  • the status of the designated partner;
  • limited partner status;
  • the type of income or loss;
  • the tax credit concerned;
  • the rules specific to certain amounts.

Geographic allocation of income

If income or losses arise from activities carried on in several provinces, territories or countries, a table must allocate the amounts according to the establishments of the partnership to which they are attributed. This table must be:

  • attached to the TP-600 return;
  • given to the members with their Slip 15. The table may not be sufficient to correctly allocate a member’s income if that member’s establishments are located in provinces, territories or countries different from those of the partnership. For foreign income:
  • a single slip may contain income from two foreign countries;
  • if income comes from three foreign countries or more, a separate slip must be prepared for each additional group of two countries.

Special cases and exceptions

Limited partner

Special rules apply when a partnership incurs a loss and one partner is a limited partner. A limited partner’s share of losses arising from:

  • a business other than a farming business;
  • property; is deductible only up to the limit amount. This limit amount corresponds to the partner’s at-risk amount at the end of the fiscal year, or, where applicable, the excess of that amount over:
  • the partner’s share of the federal investment tax credit;
  • the partner’s share of the federal carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) tax credit;
  • the partner’s share of the federal clean technology investment tax credit;
  • the partner’s share of the federal clean hydrogen tax credit;
  • the partner’s share of the federal clean technology manufacturing investment tax credit (CTM);
  • the partner’s share of the partnership’s farming losses for the fiscal year;
  • the partner’s share of Canadian and foreign resource expenses incurred by the partnership during the fiscal year, boxes 28 to 31. This rule must be taken into account in determining the losses to be entered in boxes 1 and 3. The total of the losses entered must not exceed the limit amount. If the limit amount is zero, the box must be left blank. If eligible scientific research and experimental development expenses increased or created a business loss, the partnership must not allocate to the member their share of that increase or creation of loss. The portion of the losses that exceeds the limit amount becomes a limited partnership loss. It must be entered in box 27 and may be carried forward to a later year. Farming losses are not limited by the at-risk amount and must be included in box 1.

Example relating to the at-risk amount

If a partner’s share of the business loss is $10,000 and their at-risk amount is $6,000, the amount entered in box 1 is limited to $6,000, subject to other restrictions. The excess of $4,000 constitutes a limited partnership loss and must be entered in box 27.

At-risk amount and ACB

The at-risk amount is defined in guide TP-600.G. The partnership must provide the information needed to calculate it in schedule A of the return. If a limited partner acquired their interest from a third party rather than directly from the partnership, the adjusted cost base of the interest must be calculated as if its cost were the lesser of the following amounts:

  • its otherwise determined cost;
  • the greater of the adjusted cost base of the interest for the transferor immediately before the transaction and zero. When the partnership incurred a business loss or incurred resource expenses or issuance expenses related to an investment in flow-through shares, the at-risk amount must be calculated before the amounts in boxes:
  • 1;
  • 3;
  • 27;
  • 28 to 31;
  • 60, 61 and 65. Resource expenses include:
  • Canadian exploration expenses;
  • Canadian development expenses;
  • expenses in respect of Canadian oil and gas property;
  • foreign resource expenses.

Professional dues paid for members

If the partnership pays professional dues for its members during the fiscal year, it may not deduct them from its own income. The members are deemed to have paid their share themselves during the taxation year in which the partnership’s fiscal year ends. Consequences depending on the type of member:

  • corporation: the share is deductible in the calculation of income;
  • individual: the share gives entitlement to a non-refundable tax credit;
  • partnership: the members of that partnership may qualify for a deduction or a credit depending on whether they are corporations or individuals. Code 201 must be entered in a supplementary information box, followed by the amount allocated to the member.

Functional currency

The amounts on Slip 15 must normally be shown in Canadian dollars. To convert amounts in foreign currencies, you must use:

  • the exchange rate applicable at the time of the transaction;
  • or an average rate for the period during which the transaction took place. If a member corporation has chosen, under federal rules, to file its return in a functional currency, Slip 15 must be transmitted to it in that currency.

The possible currencies are:

CurrencyCode
U.S. dollarUSD
EuroEUR
Pound sterlingGBP
Australian dollarAUD
YenJPY
Code 202 must be entered in a supplementary information box, followed by the currency code.

Split income

A partner may be taxed at the highest marginal rate on their share of split income from the partnership if:

  • they are an individual other than a trust;
  • they reside in Canada on December 31 of the year in which the partnership’s fiscal year ends;
  • if they are a minor on that date, their father or mother resided in Canada at some time during that year. The partnership must use the supplementary information codes provided to identify the amounts that constitute split income.

Split income — general rule

Unless it is an excluded amount, a partner’s share in income from a partnership is generally split income if:

  • the income comes directly or indirectly from a business related to the partner;
  • the income comes directly or indirectly from the rental of property by a partnership and a person related to the partner actively participates in the rental activities or holds a direct or indirect interest in the partnership;
  • the income comes directly or indirectly from the rental of property by a trust of which the partnership is a beneficiary, and a person related to the partner regularly and actively participates in the trust’s rental activities.

Income from property inherited from the father or motherYesYesNo
Income from property inherited from another person if certain conditions related to a severe and prolonged impairment or full-time post-secondary studies are metYesYesNo

For partners aged 18 to 24, the contributions generally considered for the reasonable amount are property contributions meeting certain conditions. The property generally must not come from a loan, debt or a direct or indirect transfer from a related person, except in the case of a transfer on death. For partners aged 25 or over, the contributions generally considered include property and work provided by the partner and the persons related to them.

Excluded shares

Excluded shares are generally shares held by a partner in a corporation that is not a professional corporation, when less than 90% of the corporation’s business income comes from the provision of services and the following conditions are met:

  • the shares give the partner at least 10% of the voting rights;
  • their fair market value represents at least 10% of the fair market value of the share capital;
  • all or substantially all of the corporation’s income does not come directly or indirectly from one or more businesses related to the partner, except the corporation’s own businesses.

A business related to a partner may include a business carried on by:

  • an individual related to the partner, if that individual resides in Canada at some time during the year in which the fiscal year ends;
  • a partnership, if that related individual actively participates in the activities generating business income or holds a direct or indirect interest in that partnership;
  • a corporation in which that related individual is a shareholder, if the fair market value of the shares they hold represents at least 10% of the fair market value of the share capital. Unless it is an excluded amount, split income may include income from a related business arising from:
  • the partnership itself;
  • a partnership of which it is a member;
  • a business carried on by a related individual;
  • a corporation in which the partnership is a shareholder.

Excluded business

A business is excluded for a partner if that partner actively participated in it:

  • for at least 5 taxation years preceding the year concerned, when the income is a taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition, after 2017, of a share of a non-public corporation, an interest in a partnership or a debt;
  • during the year concerned or for at least 5 prior taxation years, in other cases. A partner is deemed to actively participate in a business if they work in it on average at least 20 hours per week during the year, or during the part of the year in which the business is carried on.

Excluded return

The excluded return corresponds to the following result:

fair market value of the contribution of property to the related business × the highest of the prescribed interest rates applicable to the quarters ending in the year. If property is returned directly or indirectly to the partner, its fair market value is calculated pro rata according to the number of days in the year during which it was not returned.

Flow-through shares — Boxes 60 to 66

This section is used for exploration or development expenses that the partner is deemed to have incurred during the fiscal year under the flow-through share regime.

Enter:

Securities issuance expenses

Enter the partner’s share of securities issuance expenses renounced by the partnership. A renunciation may be made in favour of a partner who is:

  • a partnership with at least one individual among its members. The amount is calculated as follows:

(A × B ÷ C) – D where:

  • A = total securities issuance expenses renounced by the partnership in form CO-726.4.17.15;
  • B = total exploration expenses allocated to the partner up to the day of the renunciation;
  • C = total exploration expenses allocated to the members up to the day of the renunciation and those that will likely be allocated to them later;
  • D = total securities issuance expenses already entered on a Slip 15 for the partner for the same issue. The partnership must also enter the partner’s share of securities issuance expenses renounced in its favour by another partnership.

Share issuance expenses

Box 65 also serves for share issuance expenses renounced by a development corporation in favour of the partnership during the fiscal year. For a given issue, the amount the partner may add to their account may not exceed the excess of their share of the consideration paid to acquire the shares over the total:

  • of their share of the exploration or development expenses renounced by the development corporation for those shares;
  • of the share issuance expenses already entered on slips 11 produced for the partner in respect of that issue. For a limited partner, the total that may be added to their account relating to certain share or securities issuance expenses may not exceed the excess of their at-risk amount over, in particular:
  • their share of losses from a business other than farming or from property;
  • the amount that will likely be their share of exploration or development expenses for future fiscal years.

Box 66 — Assistance amounts for the expenses in boxes 60 to 64

  • the expenses in box 62;

This section provides the information needed to calculate a tax credit. Except for the participation percentage in box 74, the information comes from:

  • Part 2 of schedule E of the return;

Summary

Slip 15 is used to allocate to each member of a partnership their share of income, losses, gains, expenses, tax credits and other amounts needed for their income tax return. A separate slip must be prepared for each member, with the appropriate codes according to their tax status, the type of income, foreign amounts, cryptoassets, resources, flow-through shares, tax shelters and tax credits. Since January 1, 2024, Internet transmission is mandatory when more than 5 Slip 15s are prepared. The 2025 rules abolish several additional deductions related to Québec resources for expenses incurred after March 25, 2025 and also abolish, except for transitional exceptions, the deduction for capital gains on resource property disposed of after that date. Limited partners are subject to limits based on their at-risk amount, except for farming losses. Split income must be identified using specific codes when the applicable conditions are met. Amended, cancelled or additional slips must comply with separate rules, and any amendment or cancellation also requires an amended information return. The slip must also include the required identity information, including the account number when a member is a trust.
