How to pay the CRA

Online banking

1. Add a payee in your bank's bill payment screen. Search for "CRA" or "Canada Revenue". Some banks list it as "Receiver General".
2. Choose the payee that matches what you are paying, such as your tax return, instalments, corporate tax or GST/HST.
3. Enter your social insurance number for personal tax or your 15-character business number for business accounts.
4. Save the confirmation number.

Other options

• My Payment using a debit card from a participating bank
• Pre-authorized debit set up in My Account
• Third-party providers for credit cards, which charge a fee
• In person at a bank or at Canada Post with a remittance form or QR code

Allow a few business days. A payment counts when the CRA receives it. See the CRA's payment page.
