Whether you are a taxpayer, a business or a representative, you must have a trust account number before filing a trust income tax return electronically. That’s why the CRA is introducing a new digital service to make it easier to get this number.
You can now access the Trust Account Registration service through:
· My Account from the “Related Services” section;
· My Business Account from the “Open new account” menu to the left of the home page;
· Represent a Client from the left-hand side bar.
A trust account number will be given to you immediately after completing the online registration process. You can learn more about applying for a trust account number by visiting What you should know before you apply.
