Frequently Asked Questions
What is a corporate tax (RC) account?
This is your CRA-managed account for reporting and remitting corporate income tax. It’s identified by your BN, “RC” code, and reference number. e.g., 123456789 RC 0001.
Who needs the RC account?
Any federally or provincially incorporated entity (or non-resident corporation conducting business in Canada) must register for an RC account.
Can I file taxes before I receive my account number?
It’s best to wait until you receive the official RC account identifier before filing your T2 return or making instalments.
When is my corporate tax return due?
Your T2 corporate return is due within 6 months after your fiscal year-end. Instalment payments are typically required monthly or quarterly.
What if directors change or aren’t resident in Canada?
CRA requires up‑to‑date director information, including SIN and residency status. Non‑resident directors must declare status via CRA communication.
