For both individual taxpayers and small business owners, there are numerous benefits to registering:<\/p>\n
Registering for My Business Account<\/strong> with both CRA<\/strong> and Revenu Qu\u00e9bec (RQ)<\/strong> gives you access to:<\/p>\n Payroll deductions at source (DAS) paid<\/p>\n<\/li>\n T4 summaries and slips<\/p>\n<\/li>\n GST\/HST and QST returns filed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Payments made and instalments<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Corporate tax accounts and balances<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Non-resident accounts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n And much more<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Review all tax documents, including notices of assessment, in one place \u2014 no more saving, scanning, or losing critical files when you need them most.<\/p>\n Keep track of filing and payment deadlines to avoid penalties, reduce interest charges, and prevent issues with information requests or audits due to missed or overlooked mail.<\/p>\n Submit supporting documents for open cases, queries, or authorizations online instead of faxing or mailing them. Access statements of account<\/strong> to reconcile payments between various tax accounts. For example, GST\/HST or QST refunds may be applied to payroll or corporate tax balances so being able to view and track this helps simplify reconciliation.<\/p>\n View year-end balances such as:<\/p>\n Capital and non-capital losses<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Refundable dividend tax on hand (RDTOH)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Capital dividend account (CDA) balances<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Once verified, these are accessible through your CRA business account.<\/p>\n Use CRA\u2019s \u201cRepresent a Client\u201d<\/strong> to authorize your accountant to access tax documents, reconcile balances, and retrieve notices directly.<\/p>\n GST\/QST returns can be filed using Revenue Quebec\u2019s portal<\/strong>, which generates a payment code for online banking payments (look for “Revenue Quebec download code”<\/em> in your bank\u2019s tax payment section).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n CRA allows online GST\/HST filing and payments<\/strong>, which is especially helpful when expecting a refund.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n File T4, RL-1 slips, and summaries online which can be easier than filling out forms by hand and mailing them in.<\/p>\n RQ provides payment codes<\/strong> for GST, QST, and corporate taxes. These can be retrieved from your business account. Once registered in Quebec, access the Registraire des entreprises<\/strong> through Clic S\u00e9qur Entreprise<\/strong>. You can update addresses, file your annual declaration, and view business details.<\/p>\n Online registration is relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n Identity verification can often be done through a banking partner listed on the CRA registration page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Have your notices of assessment<\/strong> on hand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n CRA will either mail you a security code or allow you to retrieve it by phone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Go to the CRA login page and click Register<\/strong> under My Business Account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
