(Looking for our Canadian Payroll Tax Library (CPTL)?  Click here.) 

Payroll software developers can reduce their total costs of development and maintenance, and significantly reduce development time, by employing QPTL in their applications.  QPTL is easy to implement in any .NET or Java application, with full documentation and sample programs provided for using QPTL in VC++, VC#, VB, ASP.NET & Java applications.  A free trial is available for qualified developers by completing our online QPTL Trial License application form.

New!  QPTL REST API now available!

QPTL REST API is easy to implement in web-based applications using a standard REST interface.  Download and import our Swagger specification file and start sending payroll deduction calculation requests from your application within minutes.

QPTL is also available as a software library (Windows .NET DLL or Java) for developers needing to package their payroll software for distribution as a locally installed executable.

QPTL is updated whenever Revenu Québec changes/updates their specifications and requirements for payroll withholding calculations - usually on January 1 of each year. Our quality assurance process ensures that all calculations are tested extensively and results match exactly to all Revenu Québec test cases. As a payroll software provider, you can be assured that your Québec tax deduction calculations are up-to-date and accurate with QPTL.

Payroll software vendors typically face the challenge of distributing updates to customers on a timely basis, in advance of implementation dates for new Revenu Québec rates and changes in calculation methods. We distribute QPTL updates to our customers within 7-10 days of any Revenu Québec publication of changes to required payroll withholding rules, which are usually received 30 days in advance of the effective date for those changes, allowing our customers ample time to integrate the updated QPTL and perform their own testing and quality assurance on their payroll application before deploying updates to end-users.
