Representative authorization
New My Trust Account portal for representatives
The CRA has launched My Trust Account, a secure portal that lets legal and authorized representatives of trust accounts manage trust information online. You can securely access My Trust Account services through Represent a Client.
For more information, visit About My Trust Account.
Process for confirming a representative
In October 2022, we expanded the Confirm my Representative service, which helps individual taxpayers and business owners to protect their tax information using My Account or My Business Account, to include authorization requests received using certified tax software (EFILE) for business. To learn more about this service, go to Confirm my representative's authorization request.
All electronic authorization requests by representatives for individuals and business clients will not be activated until the representative has been verified. Clients may be contacted by the CRA to verify the representative's authorization request.
