See My Account for information about your account balance and payments, including instalments.
If you are making a payment by cheque or money order, please write your Social Insurance Number on the back to help us process your payment correctly. Your Social Insurance Number is the authorized identification number for income tax purposes under Section 237 of the Income Tax Act.
You cannot use a photocopy of a form to make your payment at a financial institution. Our forms are printed with magnetic ink characters to allow for processing through the banking system. Photocopies do not contain magnetic ink and are refused by financial institutions. For details on getting a replacement form or using alternate methods of payment, refer to the pages for the type of payment you are making using the links above.
Paying in foreign fundsYou can make your payments in foreign funds, however, the exchange rate you receive for converting the payment to Canadian dollars is determined by the financial institution processing your payment.
The Canadian Payments Association sets a maximum value of $25 million for any cheque or other paper-based payment instrument cleared through the banking system. Canadian financial institutions will not accept cheques in excess of this amount that are dropped off or mailed to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You should make arrangements with your financial institution when paying amounts of $25 million or more.
Wire transfersWe do not accept wire transfers. For details on using alternate methods of payment, refer to the pages for the type of payment you are making using the links above.
