What's New
2009 Tax Slips Online
UBC Financial Services Payroll has now issued 2009 T4 and T4A slips online through Faculty and Staff Self Service. These PDF slips can be used to calculate RSP contribution room, are identical to the printed form and are accepted by CRA when filing your taxes. If you choose PDF tax slips, you will not receive a printed slip this year, or in the future.
Printed 2009 slips will be mailed at the end of February.
