All other income

You might find your income replacement indemnities amount or the compensation you received for the loss of financial support under a law of Canada or from a province other than Québec, on your T5007 slip. If you’re a resident of Québec, these amounts can be found on your RL-5 slip. You might have received income replacement indemnities or compensation for the loss of financial support because:

• of an accident at work
• of a precautionary cessation of work
• of a traffic accident
• of an act of good citizenship
• you were the victim of a crime

Important: If you received payments from a wage-loss replacement plan in 2024, you’ll need to subtract your total contributions to the plan from the amount entered in box 14 (employment income) on the T4: Statement of remuneration paid page. If you’re a resident of Québec, subtract your contributions from box O of your RL-1 slip. You can find the T4 and the RL-1 page on the Smart Search page under the Government slips tab.

Employment-related income for which you didn't receive an information slip (such as a T4 or RL-1 slip) can include:

• Tips and gratuities
• Occasional earnings
• Net research grants – this is money given to cover certain expenses you’ve paid to carry out research projects.
• Royalties – this is compensation you might have received for using or allowing the use of a copyright, patent, trademark, formula, or a secret process that you invented. Report your royalties on this page for which you don’t have any associated expenses.

This list isn’t complete. Refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website and/or the Revenu Québec website for more information on other employment income.

Note: Remember, you’re responsible for keeping track of and reporting all income you’ve earned during the year, even if it wasn’t reported on an information slip. Reporting your employment income allows you to claim certain deductions and credits, including the Canada employment amount. You might also be able to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Québec Pension Plan (QPP) for the tips, gratuities, or occasional earnings you received during the year.

If you claimed the GST/HST rebate, the amount you receive must be claimed as other employment income on next year’s tax return. This also applies to QST rebates (for Québec residents).

For example, if you claimed the GST/HST rebate on your 2023 tax return, and it was allowed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you’ll need to report the GST/HST rebate you received on the Other income page in your 2024 tax return.
