More services to simplify your business taxes

 

The following news release was issued today by the Canada Revenue Agency.

 

Did you know...

 

That you now have additional options to help manage your business taxes through our My Business Account service?

 

Business owners can now use this secure online service to:

 

check the status of goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST)*

returns and see when Notices of Assessment were issued;

transfer electronic accounting data to reduce the burden of complying with a Canada Revenue Agency audit request; and

access a variety of business tax information and services, including account balances and activities.

 

Starting in November 2008, you will be able to transfer payments and credits within your GST/HST,* corporation income tax, or other levies account. This service will allow you to transfer amounts not yet applied to an assessed period and view the results immediately, including updated interest amounts and account balances. If the amount you wish to transfer has already been applied to an assessed period, you can request a transfer through our Make online requests service in My Business Account.

 

Business owners can authorize their employees and representatives to view or change their tax information online. Once authorized, the employees and representatives would access the services through Represent a client at www.cra.gc.ca/representatives.

 

For information on the full range of services available, go to www.cra.gc.ca/mybusinessaccount.

 

*Except for GST accounts administered by Revenu Québec.
