Non-Residents: Link Your NR Account to Your CRA Account

If you have a CRA non-resident tax account (an NR account, with a number such as NRX123456), you can add it to your CRA account and view and manage it online in Non-Resident Withholding Tax. An NR account is used to remit the Part XIII tax withheld on amounts paid to non-residents, such as rent or dividends. Once it is added, you can also authorize us on that account so we can view it and deal with the CRA for you.

Before you start: you need a registered CRA account (see our registration guide) and your 9-character NR number, which appears on Forms NR75 and NR76 and on CRA letters. Individuals who hold an NR account, and business owners (including partners, directors and officers), can add it.

If something doesn't work

• The NR number is not accepted: check it against your latest CRA form or letter. If it still doesn't work, contact us and we will help you check it.
• You don't have an NR number yet: if you are withholding tax on payments to a non-resident for the first time, you can open one in your CRA account by selecting Open a non-resident tax account, or ask us to do it for you.
• The screen asks for a RepID, GroupID or BN: enter our Group ID G4K882.
• You can't use the online service: you can fill in Form AUT-01 and mail or fax it to the CRA's Sudbury Tax Centre instead. This only lets us deal with the CRA by phone, mail and similar means — not online — and takes longer.
