How Transmitters and Tax Reporting Units Work Together

To facilitate electronic submission of year-end reports, the government assigns a transmitter number to an employer. The Canada Revenue Agency issues an employer account number and Revenu Québec issues a Quebec identification number.

Your company can designate one employer account number or Quebec identification number as the transmitter. The tax reporting units (TRUs) file their slips electronically through this transmitter. Use the Manage Legal Reporting Unit HCM Information task to define transmitter details.

Transmitters

A transmitter can file slips for itself or on behalf of other TRUs. Capture the transmitter information at the TRU-level. If you designate a TRU as a transmitter, the application uses the information you enter for the TRU, for year-end reporting to the government. Multiple TRUs with different account numbers can use the same transmitter to submit year-end information to the government.
