How to authorize your bookkeeper as a representative with CRA

If your accountant or bookkeeper is filing your taxes for you, or preparing payroll or GST, or you need them to communicate with CRA on your behalf, you need to authorize them as a representative. The process for authorizing a representative has changed, so here are the new steps:
You must already be registered for a CRA account.
- Sign in to your CRA account
- On the “Welcome” page, select your Individual account to access My Account or Business to access My Business Account
- Select Profile from the left-side menu
- Select Add in the “Authorized representative(s)” section
- Read the “Before you begin” information and select Start
- Enter the required information. Input the representative’s RepID, Group ID, or Business Number (BN). Contact me to ask for my RepID.
- Confirm and Submit: Review the information and confirm the authorization. Once authorized, you can view, modify, or delete the representative’s authorization at any time.
