Reporting a nil remittance when you know the date of your next payment
If you know the date of your next payment, press "1" at the prompt "Please choose one of the following three options to report your nil remittance."
By selecting this option you are reporting a nil remittance for a payment period and you are letting the CRA know when you are making your next remittance of tax. The CRA will ask you to enter the year and the month when this payment will be made to the non-resident. The year entered must be the current year or next year.
Example
You are reporting a nil remittance for February 2016. You also know that your next remittance of tax to the Canada Revenue Agency will be with respect to a payment you are making to the non-resident in June 2016.
At the prompt, "Please enter date" you will enter 2016 06. In this case, the CRA will expect a remittance to be made for June 2016 by the due date of July 15, 2016.
Near the end of your call, you will be asked to confirm that the information you have given is correct.
- If you press "1" for "yes," the system will give you a confirmation number. Write it down and keep it with your paper remittance voucher.
- If you press "0" for "no," your account will not be updated. Try again later or send the CRA a paper reply. Otherwise, a payment will be expected.
Once you receive your confirmation number, your non-resident account will be updated at once.
