Getting ready to complete your return
Before you file, you may find it beneficial to review related information on the Reporting Rules for Digital Platform Operators and understand how the Part XX information return varies from other information return types.
Related information
For the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) view on the rules as well as definitions related to the Part XX information return, visit the Guidance on the Reporting Rules for Digital Platform Operators.
For general information on the rules, visit Reporting Rules for Digital Platform Operators.
Variations from other information returns
It is important to note the following variations when completing a Part XX information return compared to other information return types.
- Part XX information returns can only be filed electronically using Internet file transfer (XML).
- Returns must have a unique document reference identifier.
- Each platform operator, reportable seller and/or other platform operator must have a unique document reference identifier.
- The first three segments (country code, tax year, and BN RZ) of the document reference identifiers are identical within the same return while the two-character group (RP, OP, SL) and sequence number varies.
- Returns with duplicate or no document reference identifier will be rejected.
- When you resend, correct or delete information in a return, you need to assign a new unique document reference identifier. You also need to target the record that is being corrected by entering the document reference identifier of that previously filed record in the Corrected Document Reference Identifier field.
- You need to use the two-letter country code listed in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (for example, “FR” or “GB”) instead of the three-letter code that is currently required in most of the CRA’s other information returns.
- Following the exchange of data with the jurisdictions of tax residence, the CRA will inform the contact person you provided in the T619, Electronic Transmittal record that your information return contains one or more errors. If you have access to My Business Account or Represent a Client, your list of errors is available for download in My Business Account or Represent a Client. If you do not have access to My Business Account or Represent a Client, the email notification you receive will contain a CRA phone number to contact for access to your list of errors.
- A notification of errors states that information may be missing or is not valid and that the return must be corrected and resent. The list of notification of errors will be available for the BN RZ that is reported in the Filer BN field in the return. For information on how to register for a BN RZ, go to Filing information returns.
Completing your return
This section gives details about the reportable data elements for the Part XX information return. The Part XX information return must include identification information about the reporting platform operator, and identification and activity information about reportable sellers and/or other platform operators.
Reportable seller information is not required if the reporting platform operator has obtained adequate assurances that another platform operator has or will fulfil that reporting obligation.
Follow each section below to complete your Part XX information return.
You must include a T619, Electronic Transmittal, record with your Part XX information return to create a complete submission.
Note: Government Verification Service (GVS) due diligence procedures are referenced in the Part XX XML schema, however they are not operational so it is not to be used to complete the Part XX information return for the CRA.
Reporting platform operator section
This section provides details about the information to be entered for reporting platform operators. It consists of the identity, relevant activities and document specification sections.
A platform operator that is resident in Canada is considered a reporting platform operator. A platform operator that is non-resident in Canada or that is managed or incorporated in another jurisdiction will also generally be considered a reporting platform operator if it allows sellers to sell goods or offer services, including the rental of real or immovable property, in Canada.
You will not be considered a reporting platform operator and will not have to report information on your sellers if you can demonstrate that your entire business model does not:
- allow sellers to derive a profit, or
- have reportable sellers
For the most up-to-date information on reporting platform operators, refer to: Who is affected.
A reporting platform operator who is a resident outside of Canada is only required to report information about sellers who are resident in Canada and sellers who are renting immovable property located in Canada.

Reportable seller section
This section provides details about the information to be entered for reportable sellers. It consists of the identity, relevant activities and document specification sections.
A reportable seller means any active seller, other than an excluded seller, that is determined by the reporting platform operator to:
- be a resident in a reportable jurisdiction
- have provided relevant services for the rental of immovable property located in a reportable jurisdiction, or
- have been paid or credited consideration in connection with relevant activities for the rental of immovable property located in a reportable jurisdiction
The reportable jurisdiction depends on the jurisdiction of residence of the reporting platform operator. If the reporting platform operator is a resident in Canada, then Canada and any partner jurisdiction is a reportable jurisdiction. Therefore, the reporting platform operator is required to report the information to the Canada Revenue Agency about sellers that are resident in Canada, sellers that are residents in any partner jurisdictions, and sellers who are renting immovable property in Canada or in any of Canada’s partner jurisdictions.
For the most up-to-date information on reportable sellers, refer to: Who is affected.
A reporting platform operator who is a resident outside of Canada is only required to report information about sellers who are resident in Canada and sellers who are renting immovable property located in Canada.
Standard fields for the reportable seller entity
The entity seller consists of the standard field, a type of due diligence procedure that a reporting platform operator may rely upon to determine the identity and tax residency of an entity seller. Government Verification Service (GVS) due diligence procedures are not operational so it is not to be used to complete the Part XX information return for the CRA. GVS may be referenced in subsequent sections and in the Part XX XML schema.
If the reporting entity is an individual, leave the following section blank.
Reportable seller identity
The reportable seller identity consists of the entity seller and individual seller elements.
Entity seller
If the reportable seller is an entity, the Entity Seller field should be completed.

Residence country code
Indicate the jurisdiction of tax residence of the reportable seller entity using the corresponding ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Multiple country codes can be entered if there is more than one jurisdiction of tax residence. For example, if the reportable seller entity is a tax resident of the United Kingdom and France, you give two jurisdictions of residence – one for the United Kingdom and another one for France.
Taxpayer identification number (TIN)
Enter the TIN assigned to the reportable seller entity by their jurisdiction of tax residence. If the reportable seller entity has more than one TIN because it has more than one jurisdiction of tax residence, list them all. For example, if the reportable seller entity is a tax resident of the United Kingdom and France, give two foreign TINs – one for the United Kingdom and another one for France.

No TIN reason code
If you do not enter a TIN, indicate the reason why using one of the following codes:
- “1” for the resident of a jurisdiction which does not provide TINs
- “2” if the seller has applied for a TIN and has yet to receive it from their jurisdiction of residence
- “3” if the seller has been contacted to provide a TIN but has not responded
- “4” for other reason
Unknown TIN (<unknown>)
If the TIN is not entered, set the unknown data element as true by entering a “1”.
Note
A penalty can apply for failing to provide a TIN, excluding the exceptions explained below.
A reportable seller’s TIN or business registration number is not required to be collected and reported by a reporting platform operator where the reportable seller’s jurisdiction of residence does not issue such numbers. A reportable seller’s TIN is also not required to be collected and reported if the reportable seller’s jurisdiction of residence does not require the collection of the TIN.
A business registration number is a number assigned to an entity when it is formed or registered to carry on business in a jurisdiction. For example, an incorporated business is assigned a corporation number upon incorporation. This number is distinct from a business number (or BN) that may be assigned to that entity for tax identification purposes, which could be their TIN. However, it is possible that in some jurisdictions the business registration number and TIN can be the same number.
Identification number (IN)
Enter an identification number in this field that is outside the scope of a TIN.
Identification number country code (<issuedBy>)
Enter the corresponding ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to indicate the jurisdiction that issued the IN, for example, CA for Canada.

However, if it is a resident of Canada, enter the Canadian business number (BN) in this field.
If you do not give a TIN, enter a value in the No TIN Reason Code field, and enter “NOTIN” in this field.
Taxpayer identification number country code (<issuedBy>)
Enter the corresponding ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to indicate the jurisdiction that issued the TIN, for example, CA for Canada. This must be repeated for each TIN entered in the preceding field. If there is no TIN, leave the Taxpayer Identification Number Country Code field blank.
No TIN reason code
If you do not enter a TIN, indicate the reason why using one of the following codes:
- “1” for the resident of a jurisdiction which does not provide TINs
- “2” if the seller has applied for a TIN and has yet to receive it from their jurisdiction of residence
- “3” if the seller has been contacted to provide a TIN but has not responded
- “4” for other reason
Unknown TIN (<unknown>)
If the TIN is not entered, set the unknown data element as true by entering a “1”.
Note
A penalty can apply for failing to provide a TIN, excluding the exceptions explained below.
A reportable seller’s TIN or business registration number is not required to be collected and reported by a reporting platform operator where the reportable seller’s jurisdiction of residence does not issue such numbers. A reportable seller’s TIN is also not required to be collected and reported if the reportable seller’s jurisdiction of residence does not require the collection of the TIN.
A business registration number is a number assigned to an entity when it is formed or registered to carry on business in a jurisdiction. For example, an incorporated business is assigned a corporation number upon incorporation. This number is distinct from a business number (or BN) that may be assigned to that entity for tax identification purposes, which could be their TIN. However, it is possible that in some jurisdictions the business registration number and TIN can be the same number.

Document type indicator
This element can be used for the following scenarios:
- “OECD0” to indicate if information is being resent
- “OECD1” to indicate if new information is being submitted
- “OCED2” to indicate if corrected information is being submitted
- “OECD3” to indicate deleted information
If “OECD2” or “OECD3” is used, enter the corrected document reference ID.
Document reference ID
Enter the unique document reference ID for the reporting platform operator in the format CAYYYY-BN15-2CHAR-UniqueID. The document reference ID is composed of the following pieces of information:
- CA to indicate the jurisdiction that the file is related to (Example, CA for Canada)
- YYYY to indicate the tax year
- BN15 to indicate the CRA business account number for the compliance and exchange program account (Example, 123456789RZ0001)
- 2CHAR to indicate one of the following two characters:
- “RP” for reporting operator
- “OP” for other platform operator
- “SL” for reportable seller
- Unique ID to indicate a unique 9-digit sequence
For example, CA2025-123456789RZ0001-SL-123456789 for reportable seller.
Corrected document reference ID
Use the corrected document reference ID if data is being corrected or deleted. Enter the document reference ID of the portion of the Part XX information return that is being corrected or deleted.
Correcting, deleting, or resending your return
After you file, you may realize that certain sections of the return need to be corrected.
In general, when a correction is made to the Part XX information return, the submission is considered corrected.
When a deletion is made to the return, the submission is considered deleted.
When the reportable seller information and/or other platform operator information is updated and there are no changes made to the reporting platform operator information, the return is considered resent.
Document type indicator
Indicate the type of return you are submitting using one of the following:
- “OECD0” for a resent return – when you file new, corrected, or deleted information related to the reportable seller and/or other platform operator and the platform operator information remains unchanged
- “OECD1” for a new return – when you are filing the return for the first time
- “OECD2” for a corrected return – when you make a correction to part of your information return
- “OECD3” for a deleted return – when information that was previously filed should not have been filed
Document reference identifier
All reportable seller information in a return must have a unique document type indicator.
A new document reference identifier must be assigned for each reportable seller that is created, whether it is a new, corrected, or deleted return. The document reference identifier must be unique and can never be repeated. It must be in the format CAYYYY-BNRZ-2CHAR-UNIQUEID, where:
- CA: indicates the jurisdiction that the file is related to. In this example, it is Canada
- YYYY: indicates the four digits of the tax year being filed
- BNRZ: indicates the filer's business number (BN) RZ account (must be 15 characters and in the form # # # # # # # # # RZ # # # #)
- Unique ID: sequence number of nine digits, created by the filer
Example
The document reference identifier for a Canadian reporting platform operator with the BN 123456789RZ0001 filing reportable seller information for the 2024 tax year could be reported as CA2024-123456789RZ0001-000000001. Other reportable seller information would have a different sequence number.
Corrected document reference identifier for a reportable seller
Complete this field only when submitting corrected or deleted data. In the event that more than one original return has been filed, you must keep track of the document reference identifier. Enter the document reference identifier of the previously filed return that is being replaced in the Corrected Document Reference Identifier field.
The corrected document reference identifier must always target the latest version of the return, in the correct chain, that was successfully filed with the CRA. In this way, a chain of corrections can be handled as the new document reference identifier replaces the previous record version identified in the Corrected Document Reference Identifier field.
Do not target a deleted return when filing corrected or deleted returns since they are the last return in the chain of changes.

- Enter a corrected document reference identifier only if the document type used is OECD2 (corrected return) or OECD3 (deleted return)
- When a correction or deletion is made and the reporting platform operator information is not changing, use the document type indicator OECD0 (resent return)
- When OECD0 is used, a corrected document reference identifier does not need to be submitted and only a unique document reference identifier needs to be submitted
- Targeting a deleted return is not permitted for corrected returns since they are considered the last return in the chain of changes
- A resent return can only contain corrected or deleted document type codes
