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;
• Verify that you are eligible to use GST/HST TELEFILE; and,
• Complete Part 1 of your paper return, in Canadian funds.

How do you file your return?

Once you have completed these steps, call the toll-free telephone number using a touch-tone phone, and enter the information from your paper return when prompted by the automated messages. When you successfully file your return, you will be given a six-digit confirmation number for your records.

Returns with an amount owing

As of October 22, 2007, GST/HST TELEFILE can be used to file returns with an amount owing.

If you file your return using GST/HST TELEFILE, use your financial institution's Internet or telephone banking service or form RC158, GST/HST Netfile/Telefile Remittance Voucher, to make your payment. Do not send us a paper copy of your return.
