How do individuals and businesses authorize me?

Individuals can go to My Account and enter your RepID to authorize you as an individual, a GroupID to authorize a group of representatives, or enter the Business Number (BN) to authorize all employees of a business. They can also authorize you as a representative by completing Form AUT-01 Authorize a Representative for Access by Phone and Mail, and sending it to their tax centre. Note that Form AUT-01 can be used to give a representative access to your account only by telephone and mail.
