Transmission and Filing

The following methods for referring to transmission receipts are now out-of-date. If you use these methods, we advise updating your templates to use the statements listed above.

{{receipt(...)}}

Checks whether the T1 has been filed. This condition appears in the T1 client letter (CLetter).

{{# receipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE") }}
This text shows if the T1 return is filed.
{{/ receipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE") }}

The addition of the not( ) function will show the text if the return has not been successfully transmitted to the CRA. Also used in the T1 client letter (CLetter).

{{# not(receipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE")) }}
This text shows if the T1 return hasn't yet been filed.
{{/ not(receipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE")) }}

{{hasreceipt(...)}}

Checks whether the T1 has been filed. For example:

{{# hasreceipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE") }}
This text shows if the T1 return is filed.
{{/ hasreceipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE") }}

The addition of the not( ) function will show the text if the return does not have a transmission receipt. An example appears in the T1 client letter

{{# not(hasreceipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE")) }}
This text shows if the T1 return hasn't yet been filed.
{{/ not(hasreceipt(CurrentClient, "T1 EFILE")) }}
