Did you know?

Trustees can now apply for a trust account number before filing their T3RET, T3 Trust Income Tax and Information Return. A trust account number is an identifier starting with the letter “T” followed by an eight-digit number.

How to apply for a trust account number

Apply for a trust account number using Form T3 APP, Application for Trust Account Number.

What information is needed?

To process your application, we need a completed and signed Form T3 APP with a signed copy of the trust document or will.

Important facts

Once the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has assigned a trust account number to the trust, please include this number on all correspondence related to the trust to simplify dealings with us.
If you want to apply for a trust account number for someone, or you want to authorize a person to apply for you, we need a completed and signed Form T1013, Authorizing or Cancelling a Representative. This form allows us to deal with a person who is acting as a representative for another person on income tax matters (including trust accounts).
