Pay corporate income tax online
How do I pay corporation tax online?
Use a corporate-income-tax payment route. Filing a T2 return and paying the corporation’s balance are separate actions.
Where to begin
- Open the bank’s business tax payment service and choose the corporation-tax payee for the correct payment type.
- Follow its account and period instructions, distinguishing a balance payment from an instalment.
- For recurring pre-authorized debits, use the CRA instalments calculator and scheduling service in My Business Account.
Before you open the official service
- The correct corporation program account
- Balance or instalment and the relevant period
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
Do not use a personal-income-tax payee for a corporation. Check the current payment due date and retain confirmation.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
