QPTL is a library of Québec payroll withholding tax deduction calculations for payroll application software developers. QPTL enables payroll software developers to easily, quickly, and seamlessly incorporate a full set of Revenu Québec payroll deduction calculations into their software using our QPTL REST API. QPTL includes calculation methods for Québec Pension Plan (QPP), Québec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP), and province of Québec income tax withholding.

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 payroll application, with full documentation and sample programs provided for use in a wide variety of programming languages and applications, including Google Sheets and MS Excel.
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 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 payroll tax withholding 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 update our QPTL REST API service when Revenu Québec publishes changes well in advance of their effective date. As a QPTL REST API subscriber, you don't need to change anything in your payroll software - QPTL REST API will provide you with updated calculation results in response to your payroll software's existing REST API requests..
