Trustees can now apply for a trust account number before filing their T3RET, T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return. A trust account number is an identifier starting with the letter âTâ followed by an eight-digit number.
How to apply for a trust account number
Apply for a trust account number using Form T3 APP, Application for Trust Account Number.
What information is needed?
To process your application, we need a completed and signed Form T3 APP with a signed copy of the trust document or will.
Important facts
- Once the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has assigned a trust account number to the trust, please include this number on all correspondence related to the trust to simplify dealings with us.
- If you want to apply for a trust account number for someone, or you want to authorize a person to apply for you, we need a completed and signed Form T1013, Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative. This form allows us to deal with a person who is acting as a representative for another person on income tax matters (including trust accounts).
