Find CRA payment options
How do I find the right way to pay the CRA?
CRA's payments hub explains how to pay, check that a payment arrived and find the deadline for the type of amount you owe. It also has guidance when paying on time is difficult. Start with the correct tax or program account, because payment details and due dates are not interchangeable across services.
Where to begin
- Identify the tax or program payment you need to make.
- Open CRA's instructions for the appropriate payment method and deadline.
- Use its confirmation guidance to check that the payment was applied correctly.
Before you open the official service
- The type of tax or program account
- The relevant official notice
- Your chosen payment method
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
This guide cannot confirm balances, deadlines for your circumstances or payment receipt. Payment arrangements must be made directly with CRA.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
