The last day of February for the preceding calendar year.
This rule could not be verified. The Revenu Québec, Enterprise Registrar and CNESST sites refuse automated access: the rule above reflects my understanding without having been checked against an official text. Confirm it with Revenu Québec before relying on it.
Who it applies to
The payer of dividends or interest to a recipient resident in Quebec. Quebec equivalent of the T5, filed separately with Revenu Québec.

File with Revenu QuébecFrequently asked questions
- Do the RL-3 and T5 share a deadline?
- Yes, the last day of February. But they are two filings to two administrations, each with its confirmation.
- Does a dividend to the sole shareholder require an RL-3?
- Yes, if the recipient resides in Quebec. The size of the corporation and the relationship with the shareholder change nothing.
