The Business Number (BN)

CRA has released an updated RC2, The Business Number and your Canada Revenue Agency Program Accounts. For new businesses it is an excellent primer on your reporting and remittance obligations to the government. Sections on GST/HST and payroll will be especially helpful. Links are included to provincial programs, such as Worker's Compensation in Nova Scotia and the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. These are harmonized with the federal BN and can be accessed seamlessly through Business Registration Online or through provincial websites.
