Paper based authorizations

If your clients use Form T1013, Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative, to authorize you or your business as their representative, these procedures must be followed to give you online access to their tax information:

  • Register your Business Number (BN) with the Represent a client service before your client submits Form T1013.
  • Your client has to enter your RepID or BN on Form T1013, but not both.
  • The business name you register with the Represent a client service must match the business name on Form T1013 to prevent delays in processing.
  • The CRA has to receive your client's Form T1013 no later than six months after it is signed.
