Form MR-69-V — Authorization to Communicate Information or Power of Attorney

What is MR-69-V authorization or power of attorney (Revenu Québec)?

Form MR-69-V is how a person or a business tells Revenu Québec that someone else may receive their confidential information, or represent them. The person granting it can be an individual (including a deceased individual or an individual in business), a corporation, a partnership, a trust or an organization. The designated person can be an individual, such as a spouse or an adult child, or a business, such as an accounting firm.

The form offers two levels. An authorization lets the designated person consult the information and documents you choose. A power of attorney also lets them act for you: submit information and documents, ask for changes to your tax file and take part in negotiations with Revenu Québec. You choose what it covers (everything, or specific files such as personal income tax returns, the solidarity tax credit, GST/HST and QST returns or source deductions) and which years or periods.

FileIt walks you through the four parts in plain English and prints your answers into Revenu Québec's own MR-69-V PDF, with names that contain accents or other special letters printed correctly in the form's boxes. It checks things the form asks for, such as giving at least one identification number and completing line 10 or 10a when a professional representative number is used. The finished PDF is saved in your FileIt vault, ready to print, sign by hand and mail. FileIt never sends anything to Revenu Québec for you.

How to fill out MR-69-V authorization or power of attorney (Revenu Québec), step by step

1 Part 1: The person whose information is covered

Give the numbers that identify the person or business (NEQ, identification number, SIN), then either an individual's title, last name and first name, or the name of the business or trust, and the address and telephone number.

The form's boxes hold a set number of characters (20 for a last name, 22 for a first name, 45 for a business name). FileIt limits each answer to what fits.

2 Part 2: The designated person

Say who receives the authorization or power of attorney. For an individual, give their name and the last three digits of their SIN. For a business or trust, lines 12 to 12b stay blank: give the business name on line 13 and the name of a contact person there on lines 13a and 13b. Add the address and telephone number, and line 16 if Revenu Québec has given them a professional representative number, which lets them access the file online.

3 Part 3: What it covers

Box 21 grants a general authorization covering all information Revenu Québec holds about the person under Québec tax legislation and the Excise Tax Act. It does not include support payments or the shelter allowance program: tick box 22 (with the support file numbers) or box 23 as well if those should be covered.

For a limited authorization, tick the categories you want in section 3.2.2, from personal income tax returns and the solidarity tax credit to GST/HST and QST returns, source deductions, fuel and tobacco tax, mining tax or other listed documents. For boxes 31 to 37 you can give file numbers; if you do not, all files for that item are covered.

4 Section 3.3: Years or periods

Choose all periods (past, current and future), up to three taxation years with an option for subsequent years, or a date range with an option for subsequent periods.

5 Part 4: Authorization or power of attorney

Tick line 50 for an authorization or line 51 for a power of attorney, and print the name of the person granting it. It takes effect on the date of the signature in Part 5 and stays valid indefinitely, unless you enter an end date on line 52 or it is revoked with form MR-69.R-V.

6 Part 5: Signature

The individual signs, or their legal or authorized representative, such as a tutor, curator, mandatary, liquidator of a succession, trustee or holder of a power of attorney, who must send documents proving their authority and form LM-14-V. For a corporation an officer signs, for a partnership a partner, and for a trust a trustee. Line 71 is for the signer's position, line 72 for the date. The signee cannot be the designated person.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Sending a photocopy: the form says photocopies are not accepted.
• Forgetting to sign Part 5, which the form says gets it returned to you.
• Assuming a general authorization covers support payments or the shelter allowance: those need box 22 or 23 ticked as well.
• Having the designated person sign Part 5, which the form does not allow.
• Filling in both lines 12 and 13 in Part 2: for a business or trust, lines 12 to 12b stay blank.
• Giving a professional representative number without completing line 10 or 10a.
• A Québec corporation filing the English version: the form says corporations established in Québec must file the French version.

After you fill it out

Print the PDF and sign Part 5 by hand. If a legal or authorized representative signs, add the documents proving their authority and form LM-14-V, Information About a Representative. If more than one representative must sign, the form says to attach an appendix with each one's name, signature, position and date.

Mail the signed original to one of the two Revenu Québec addresses printed at the top of page 1. FileIt does not send anything for you.

Keep the PDF in your FileIt vault. To end the authorization or power of attorney later, use form MR-69.R-V, Revocation of an Authorization to Communicate Information or of a Power of Attorney. The form also says the designated person must tell Revenu Québec in writing if they refuse to represent you, and can never transfer the mandate to someone else.
