Intellectual property rights

The protection of privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to Revenu Québec. Please read this section carefully, as well as the section Policy on privacy.

The Gouvernement du Québec holds exclusive intellectual property rights over the documents it produces and publishes, including all administrative texts and official texts (statutes, regulations, by-laws, judgments, etc.), whether produced by Gouvernement du Québec employees, a government department, a public agency or a third party having assigned its rights or granted a user licence to the Gouvernement du Québec. Intellectual property rights include copyrights, trademarks and patents.

The information and compilations contained in Revenu Québec's site are protected by copyright in the same manner as multimedia, literary, musical and artistic works.

Unless otherwise indicated and subject to exceptions provided by law, no material that is subject to intellectual property rights may be used without the appropriate authorizations, licences, permissions or grant of interest from or by the holder of the rights. This applies notably to reproduction or storage for purposes other than those strictly permitted.
