You must pay your personal tax balance owing by April 30, regardless of when your personal tax return is due. There are several ways to do this:
- On-line banking,
- Canada Revenue Agency's - My Payment - Only available with BMO Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, RBC Royal Bank, and TD Canada Trust,
- Submit a cheque to your tax centre - Payable to the Receiver General,
- Pay in person at your financial institution - to do this you will need a remittance form.
My preference is on-line banking. All you need to do is set CRA up as a payee using your Social Insurance number as the account reference number. If you have any difficulty with this, contact your financial instituion for assistance.
