Log in to your online banking account.

Add the CRA as a payee (look for “CRA (revenue)” or “Canada Revenue Agency – Tax Owing”).

Use your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or a CRA-provided account number as the reference number.

Confirm the payment amount and submit.

Log in to your CRA My Account.

Choose the “Make a Payment” option.

Use CRA’s My Payment service, which allows direct payment via debit card or pre-authorized debit.

Set up a pre-authorized debit in your CRA My Account to automatically withdraw the owed amount from your bank account on a specific date.

This is useful for one-time payments or setting up installment plans.

Request a remittance voucher from the CRA or print one from your CRA My Account.

Visit your bank or financial institution to make a payment in person.

Ensure the voucher accompanies your payment for accurate processing.

Use a third-party service provider, such as Plastiq, to pay with a credit card or PayPal.

Note that third-party services charge fees for processing payments.

Write a cheque or money order payable to the Receiver General for Canada.

Include your Social Insurance Number (SIN) or CRA account number on the cheque/money order.

Mail the payment along with a remittance voucher to the address provided by the CRA.

If you can’t pay the full amount owing, contact the CRA to discuss a payment arrangement.

The CRA allows installment payments to help you manage your debt, but interest will continue to accrue on unpaid amounts.

Deadlines: Payment is due by April 30 of the following year for most taxpayers. Late payments incur interest charges.

Verify Your Payment: Check your CRA My Account to confirm that your payment was received and applied to your account.
