Pay through a third-party service provider – Payments to the CRA

You can use a third-party service provider that offers payment by credit card, debit card, PayPal, or Interac® e-Transfer. Different service providers offer different payment methods. The third-party service provider will send your payment and remittance details online to the CRA for you. The CRA does not accept payments directly by credit card (Canadian or international), PayPal, or Interac e-Transfer.

The provider will charge you service fees.

If you can't use this method or want to pay in another way, find options for your situation by answering a few questions about what you are paying.

How to pay

When you make a payment through a third-party service provider, they need information to send your payment details to the CRA for you.

What you need before you pay

For individuals: Option 1 of 2

Your social insurance number

For businesses: Option 2 of 2

Your business number and program account

Once you have the information you need, follow the instructions for your chosen third-party service provider.

Avoid late fees

You are responsible for making sure the CRA receives your payment by the payment due date. If you are using a third-party service provider, you must clearly understand the terms and conditions of the services you are using.

Set up your payment well in advance of your payment’s due date because payment delivery is not immediate. It is determined by the third-party service provider you use.

Processing times

  • Considered as paid: varies based on the service provider
  • Usually updated in your CRA account within 2 to 3 business days after the payment is received

You can confirm if we received a payment.

If your payment is still not showing after 3 business days, you can resolve a payment issue.
