Representation


Authorizations

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has efficiently streamlined this information into four sections...

  1. Overview
    This the representative program overview.
  2. Before You Start
    These are your responsibilities to your chosen representative.
  3. Types Of Access
    There are four types of Authorization. Personal, Business, Non-Resident, and Trust.
  4. Authorization Procedure
    At the current moment, we are only able to accommodate Personal and/or Business representation.

Note
If you are authorizing for either of these accounts (Personal or Professional), you will only need to complete this process once. However, if you are authorizing for both accounts, you will need to complete this process twice. Once for your Personal (Individual) account and once for your Professional (Business) account.

Quickest Authorization
Setting up your Personal and/or Professional authorization(s) is quite efficient through the MyAccount and/or MyBusinessAccount respectively.

Hardcopy Authorization
This authorization is the slowest and only allows for communication to CRA through telephone and mail.
(Processes through this method will take longer to complete.)
