Relevé 31 – Understanding and generating your slips in Plexflow

The Relevé 31 (Quebec’s RL-31 slip) is a tax document required by Revenu Québec. It must be sent each year before February 28 by owners or managers of rental buildings to report the units rented as of December 31 of the previous year.

This slip lets tenants obtain the solidarity tax credit, because it confirms that they occupied an eligible unit in Quebec at the end of the year.

💡 Important: Only tenants present on December 31 of the previous tax year will receive a Relevé 31.
For example, the 2024 slip concerns only tenants who occupied a unit on December 31, 2024.

When to generate Relevé 31 slips in Plexflow

The Relevé 31 module in Plexflow lets you generate your slips starting December 1 for the year in question. The system treats a tenant who pays for the month of December as automatically present on December 31 for that unit, unless a lease end date or a departure is entered before that date. This option helps you prepare your mailings in advance and validate your data.

How to generate Relevé 31 slips in Plexflow

Step 1 – Check the building owner assignment

Before generating any Relevé 31, it is important to start by assigning the right owner to each building.

In Plexflow, assigning the owner correctly is essential so that the name and contact details appear accurately on tax documents such as the Relevé 31.

⚠️ Important: This step does not appear in the explanatory video, but it is essential for the Relevé 31 module to work properly.
Without the owner assignment, the generated slips could be incomplete or incorrect.

This is where you can generate and view all tax reports, including Relevé 31.

Step 3 – Create a new report

Once you are in the Reports section:

Relevé 31 – Frequently asked questions (Plexflow)

This article answers the most common questions about Relevé 31 slips generated in Plexflow (tenant/owner PDF) and about transmission to Revenu Québec.

Why doesn’t the Relevé 31 number appear on the generated documents (tenant copy and owner copy)?

The Relevé 31 number is an identifier used only during electronic transmission to Revenu Québec.
There is no designated place to display it on the PDF copies of the form (tenant/owner).
✅ Its absence on the generated documents is normal and consistent with the official format.

Will last year’s transmitted slip number (e.g. 2025) be entered when Relevé 31 slips are generated next year?

The « Numéro du dernier relevé transmis » (number of the last slip transmitted) field is used only when a slip already transmitted for the same year must be amended and retransmitted.

• If a user corrects a slip that has already been sent, Plexflow will automatically enter this number during retransmission.
• For a new tax year, this field does not apply.

When Relevé 31 slips are generated with Plexflow, is the sending to Revenu Québec automatic? Does the owner need to take any additional action?

✅ Yes, sending is automatic.
Relevé 31 slips generated in Plexflow are transmitted automatically to Revenu Québec through an authorized electronic transmission.
The owner has no additional action to take:

• no signature required
• no return of the owner copy

➡️ The electronic transmission is the official record.

Why doesn’t the barcode appear on the owner copy?

The barcode is required only for paper forms transmitted manually.
In the case of an electronic transmission through Revenu Québec’s official interface, the barcode is not necessary — so it is normal that it is not displayed on the owner copy.

To remember

Plexflow is an electronic transmitter authorized by Revenu Québec for the submission of Relevé 31 slips.
This authorization is renewed each year, which ensures that our system remains compliant with government requirements.
