Paying your payroll source deductions (CPP, EI, and income tax withheld) on time is one of the most important responsibilities for Canadian employers. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) offers several payment methods, but one of the fastest and most secure options is **My Payment**, an online service that lets you pay directly using a Visa Debit or Debit Mastercard.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to submit a payroll remittance using CRA My Payment. 

## **Step 1 — Go to the CRA My Payment Page**

Visit the CRA’s official My Payment page on Canada.ca or go to [https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/payment-save-time-pay-online.html](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/payment-save-time-pay-online.html) 

Click the button that says **“Pay now using My Payment.”**

## **Step 2 — Select Your Payment Type**

You will be taken to the “Select payment type” screen.

Scroll down to the **Businesses** section and choose: ✔ **Payroll source deductions**

## **Step 3 — Choose the Type of Payroll Payment**

The CRA will ask what type of payroll payment you want to make.   
The most common one for employers is: ✔ **Regular remittance**

Other options may include:

- Quarterly remittance
- Accelerated Threshold 1
- Accelerated Threshold 2
- Balance due
- Arrears
- PIER amount owing
- Wage subsidy repayments

Select the option that applies to your business, then click **Next**.

## **Step 4 — Enter Your Payroll Payment Details**

You’ll now be prompted to enter your payroll remittance information:

- **RP Account Number** (business number + RP program) \[Example: 123456789 RP 0001\]
- **Gross payroll for the period: **This should be on the PD7A form
- **Number of employees: This should be on the PD7A form**
- **Period end (Year & Month): This should be on the PD7A form**
- **Amount of the remittance: This should be on the PD7A form**

When everything is filled in, click **Next**.

## **Step 5 — Review and Confirm Your Information**

You will see a confirmation page showing the details of your payroll payment.

Carefully verify:

- Account number (RP account)
- Payment type
- Payroll period
- Remittance amount

If something needs correcting, use the **Edit** button before proceeding.

Click **Confirm and proceed to pay.**

## **Step 6 — Choose Your Payment Method**

My Payment accepts only:

###### ✔ **Visa Debit**

###### ✔ **Debit Mastercard**

Credit cards are **not** accepted for this method.

Click **Pay now**.

## **Step 7 — Complete the Secure Checkout**

You will be redirected to a secure checkout page from the payment processor.  
Enter:

- Cardholder name
- Debit card number
- Expiry date
- Security code (CVV)

Click **Pay** to finalize the transaction.

## **Step 8 — Save Your Receipt**

Once your payment is completed, download or print the confirmation page for your records. This is helpful for bookkeeping and for proving payment in case of CRA inquiries.

# **Final Tips**

✔ **Submit remittances on time** to avoid interest and penalties.  
✔ **Always double-check your RP account number** to ensure the payment is applied correctly.  
✔ **Keep copies of confirmation receipts** in your payroll records.  
✔ If your business frequently remits payroll, consider using **Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD)** or your bank’s online payroll payee setup or use a payroll system like Quickbooks Payroll or ADP.
