How to give authorization
You are authorizing a representative for a:
business tax account
non-resident tax account
resident tax account
Online
Fastest way. Authorizing a representative online gives them immediate access to your CRA account. You must already be registered with My Account for Individuals.
Alternative online methods:
Second fastest way. Your representative submits an authorization request via EFILE
Your representative must be a registered electronic filer in good standing. EFILE must be used with CRA certified professional tax software. This gives your representative instant access to your CRA accounts.
Authorization requests can be submitted 21 hours a day, except between the hours of 3:00 am and 6:00 am Eastern standard time.
​
Before submitting an authorization request via EFILE, your representative will ask you to sign a signature page and will keep it in their records. It must be kept for six years following the date that the return was electronically filed. It is a good idea to keep a copy for your records too. Do not send the signature page to the CRA unless the CRA asks to see it. Signature pages sent to the CRA that weren't requested won't be processed or returned.
For more information or to apply for EFILE, go to EFILE for electronic filers.
