Your payment information, including your CRA account number (SIN, BN, etc.), is entered in the CRA My Payment website, without having to log into "My Account" or "My Business Account".  Once you have completed the information, you are transferred to the INTERAC® Online service, which then goes to the website of your banking institution.  There, you log in and confirm payment, and are then taken back to CRA's My Payment website, which provides a printable record of the transaction.

The only fee for using this service will be a transaction fee, if any, charged by your financial institution.

When payments are made through this service, there is no provision for paying at a future date.  The payment will be credited to your CRA account when it is made.  If the payment is made on a weekend or statutory holiday, it will be credited to your account on the next business day.  It may take one or two business days for the payment to be updated on your CRA account.

Access My Payment on the CRA website.
