What's new

Changes to GST/HST account closure rules

You can no longer close a GST/HST account within two years of activation. If you attempt to close the account before the two-year mark, an error message will appear directing you to contact Business enquiries for further assistance.

Link a Business Number with your social insurance number

You are now able to link a Business Number (BN) with your social insurance number (SIN) without calling the CRA by adding it on your CRA account. If you already have another business on file, you can add a new BN from your My Business Account profile page. If you do not have another business on file, you can add a new BN from the Welcome page of your CRA account.
