Before you start

Before you start, we recommend that you complete the following steps:

  • verify that the Business Number, name, address, and reporting period information printed on your return is correct;
  • complete Part 1 of your paper return, in Canadian funds;
  • verify that you are eligible to use GST/HST NETFILE;
  • verify that your browser is capable of 128-bit encryption; and,
  • verify that your cookies are "enabled".

How do you file your return?

Once you have completed these steps, access the online form through the Ready to file page, and enter the information from your paper return on the online form. Right after you successfully file your return, you will get a six-digit confirmation number for your records.

After you exit the online form, it is recommended you shut down and restart your browser. This will help ensure that any information you entered cannot be viewed by others.

Navigation bar

Please note that for security reasons, the navigation bar (located at the top of the page) will be disabled for the duration of your secure filing session.
