Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a Business Number?
You need a BN if you’re registering for any CRA program account — such as GST/HST (RT), Payroll Deductions (RP), Corporate Income Tax (RC), or Import/Export (RM). It’s also required for incorporated businesses and partnerships in most cases.
What are CRA program accounts?
These are specific tax accounts linked to your Business Number, such as:
RT for GST/HST
RP for Payroll
RC for Corporate Tax
RM for Import/Export
RR for Charities
Each program account includes a 2-letter identifier and a 4-digit reference number (e.g. 123456789 RT0001).
Can I register for multiple CRA program accounts at once?
Yes. When applying for a Business Number, you can register for all required CRA program accounts at the same time, depending on your business activities.
Do I need a Business Number if I’m self-employed or a sole proprietor?
You may not need a BN right away, but you will need one if you’re:
Charging GST/HST
Hiring employees
Importing/exporting goods
Incorporating your business
How long does it take to get my BN and CRA accounts?
If submitted correctly through Business Registration Online (BRO), your BN and CRA program accounts are typically issued on the same business day. Our agency ensures fast, accurate filings with minimal delays.
