CRA’s My Business Account allows Business owners (including partners, directors, and officers) to access their GST/HST, payroll, corporation income taxes, excise taxes, excise duties and other levies accounts online. Business owners can also log into My Business Account to authorize and manage representatives to access their business account. What can I do on My Business Account?

- Social Insurance Number
