CRA remittance voucher (PD7A)

⏰ “I Need to Pay My Payroll Tax Today — What Should I Do?”

Here’s the harsh truth:

Even if you pay online on the last day of your due date, CRA usually needs up to three business days to process electronic payments. That means your payment may not be officially received until it’s already late — triggering penalty and interest charges automatically.

So what’s your best move when you’re running out of time

✅ Go offline — and pay at your bank branch.

When you pay your CRA payroll remittance in person, the bank stamps your payment date immediately, which CRA accepts as same-day payment.

 This can save you from late penalties, especially if your payment deadline falls right before a weekend or holiday.

🏦 But Wait — You Can’t Just Walk Into a Bank and Pay!

Here’s where most business owners get stuck:

You can’t simply walk into a bank and say, “Hi, I’d like to pay my payroll tax.” The teller will politely shake their head and ask for one very important thing: “Do you have your CRA payroll remittance form?”

Without this form — officially called the CRA remittance voucher (PD7A) — the bank cannot process your payment. It contains essential information such as your Business Number (BN), remitter type, and CRA account code, ensuring the payment goes to the right tax account

📄 So, How Do You Get the CRA Payroll Form?

Normally, CRA mails this form to you every month or quarter, depending on your remittance frequency. But if you lost it, never received it, or need to pay right now, waiting for CRA mail is not an option.

That’s where we step in.

This digital voucher works exactly the same as the official CRA form and ensures your payment is processed correctly and on time.
