Statement of Qualifying Retroactive
Lump-Sum Payment
To the payer:
Fill out this form if you paid a qualifying retroactive lump-sum payment (QRLSP) to an individual (other than a trust) in 1995 or later years. Enter the amount of the
QRLSP and its breakdown in the appropriate boxes below. Give the filled out and signed form to the recipient of the QRLSP. If you paid more than one QRLSP to
an individual, fill out one form for each QRLSP paid. See the back of this form for details.
Note: The QRLSP income stated on this form has to be included on the recipient's information slip (such as a T4, T4A and T4E).
To the recipient:
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will not reassess your returns for prior years to include this income. However, you can ask the CRA to tax the parts for the
prior years as if you received them in those years. You have to include the full payment on the correct line of your return for the year. See the back of this form for
details.
NEW: As of February 2025, you can submit your income tax and benefit return electronically even if you are asking for the special tax calculation.

Information for payers and recipients
 What is a qualifying retroactive lump-sum payment (QRLSP)
 
  A QRLSP is a lump-sum payment paid to an individual (other than a trust) in a year that relates to one or more prior eligible tax years in which the individual
was a resident of Canada for the full year. To be a qualifying amount, the payment must have been paid after 1994 from one of the following sources:
income from an office or employment received under:
  – an order or judgment from a court or other competent tribunal
  – an arbitration award
  – a lawsuit settlement agreement (including damages for loss of office or employment)
benefits from unemployment insurance or employment insurance
benefits from a superannuation or pension plan (other than non-periodic benefits such as lump-sum withdrawals)
spousal, common-law partner, or taxable child support payments
benefits from a wage-loss replacement plan
Canadian Forces members' and veterans' income replacement benefits
 
  Note: A year in which an individual became bankrupt is not an eligible tax year.
 
 Amounts not qualifying
 
  An amount received under any part of a retroactive lump-sum payment that is eligible for any of the following deductions, is not a qualifying amount:
legal expenses
salary reimbursements
reimbursement of top-up disability payments
repayment of pension or benefits
deduction of social assistance payments, workers' compensation benefits
 
  An amount under normal collective bargaining, such as negotiated back pay, is not a qualifying amount (although an amount from an arbitration award
does qualify).
 
 Why provide the breakdown of a QRLSP
 
  Generally, a lump-sum payment is included in income in the year the recipient receives it. This may result in a greater tax liability than if the payment had been
received in the year or years to which it related.
 
  A special tax calculation is available to individuals who receive QRLSPs that relate to any year after 1977. The calculation applies if the total of all principal
amounts that relate to prior years (after 1977) from all QRLSPs is $3,000 or more.
 
  If you are the payer of a QRLSP, fill out this form to help the CRA decide if the special tax calculation is beneficial to the recipient.
 
  If you are the recipient of a QRLSP and if the amount shown for your "Total principal (prior years only)" is $3,000 or more, attach Form T1198, Statement of
Qualifying Retroactive Lump-Sum Payment, to your return for the year of payment to ask for a special tax calculation. If you have more than one QRLSP form,
add the amounts shown for the "Total principal (prior years only)" on all your forms. If the result is $3,000 or more, attach the QRLSP forms to your return that
payers gave you.
