Represent a client

This secure service lets you and/or your business deal with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a representative for someone such as a client, friend, or family member. To use this service, you must:

Start using this service

Step Action
1 Log in with your epass (a User ID and Password). If you don't have an epass, you can get one by using this service.
Do not share your epass (a User ID and Password);
2 Sign-up as a representative to obtain a RepID (for example, A2B2CE1), or sign-up your business and use your Business Number (BN);
3 Provide your BN or RepID to your client, friend, or family member so they can authorize you to use this service; and
4 Be authorized by that client, friend, or family member.

We urge you to visit About this service if this is your first time using this service. We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with the paper based authorization process.

NEW You can now order a tutorial CD explaining the Represent a client service and its advantages. Your clients can also benefit from this tutorial as it shows them how to authorize a representative online. Enter product number RC4437 on the Online order form, and we will mail a copy to you.
