Payments to the CRA
As of January 1, 2024, payments or remittances to the Receiver General of Canada over $10K should be made electronically. The option to send payments by cheque will remain available to taxpayers for the foreseeable future. Before applying a penalty, the CRA will be educating taxpayers about the easy, secure, and convenient electronic payments options currently available to make payments to the CRA.
