This declaration has nothing to do with the annual income tax return filed with Revenu Québec or the Canada Revenue Agency — it is a separate document, prepared case by case for a specific organization.
In what situations is it requested?
- a self-employed person without a traditional employment record;
- someone between jobs or recently entering the labour market;
- income from multiple sources that is otherwise hard to consolidate;
- a request from an organization requiring additional confirmation despite documents already provided.
What should the declaration contain?
- the declarant's identity;
- a breakdown of income sources and corresponding amounts;
- the period covered by the declaration;
- a statement of the truthfulness of the information provided.
Does it need to be sworn?
This depends on the receiving organization. Always check its exact requirements before having your declaration sworn.
Can it be sworn online?
Yes, when the document and situation are eligible for remote oath commissioning, by videoconference.
