Adding CRA program accounts to your business number
Effective October 21, 2024, if you need to register for or update an import and export RM program account, go to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)'s CARM Client Portal. To learn more, go to Getting or making changes to a nine-digit business number for importing and exporting.
Generally, when you register for a business number (BN), you also register for the program accounts you require at that time.
If your business expands after you register for a BN, you might need to add other program accounts to your BN.
The five major Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) business accounts are:
- RT, Goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax
- RP, Payroll deductions
- RC, Corporate income tax
- RR, Registered charity
- RZ, Information returns
Before adding any program account, go to When you need a business number or Canada Revenue Agency program accounts.
If you determine that you need to add an account, go to How to register for a business number or Canada Revenue Agency program accounts.
