The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers online payment methods that make paying taxes as easy as paying your hydro or phone bill.
Payment methods
There are several ways to make a payment to the CRA.
- Online banking: Use your financial institution’s online banking service and select The Canada Revenue Agency in the list of payees. We may also be listed as:
- Revenue Canada;
- CRA Payment on Filing; or
- Receiver General.
Make sure you correctly identify the type of account, your social insurance number or business number, and the reporting period or tax year of your payment.
- Debit card: Use My Payment, CRA’s online payment service. It allows individuals and businesses to make payments using Interac® Online. You may qualify to use this method if you have an online banking account with one of the following institutions:
- BMO Bank of Montreal (personal accounts only);
- TD Canada Trust;
- Scotiabank; or
- RBC Royal Bank.
- In person: You can make your payment in person at your financial institution in Canada. To do this, you will need a personalized remittance voucher, which you can ask for online through My Account or Quick Access.
- By mail: You can also mail your payment to the CRA. Send your cheque or money order (payable to the Receiver General), along with your remittance voucher, to:
- Non-resident payments: You can pay by wire transfer if you are a non-resident who does not have a Canadian bank account.
