"Employment conditions - Quebec" and answer the
questions.
The employer must complete the federal form
T2200 (questions 11 and 12 are mandatory) as well
as Quebec form TP-75.2. Quebec employers must complete
Part 2 of the form. However, you still have to complete both the
"Employment conditions" and "Employment conditions -
Quebec" forms if you are a Quebec resident.
It is not necessary to attach the federal T2200 and Quebec
TP-75.2 or the list of eligible tools. However, keep
these documents in case the CRA
or Revenu Québec asks to see them.
