The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is continuing to implement new online security measures, and as of July 15, 2025, representatives will no longer be able to gain access to a client’s CRA My Account by signing and e-filing of the authorization form. Now, representatives will have to go through the Represent A Client service to request access.
At S+C Partners, our clients can add their S+C Contact at our Firm as a representative to expedite the process. To add S+C Partners as an authorized representative on your CRA My Account, follow the steps below.
- Log into your CRA Account;
- On the left side of the page below “overview”, click on the profile tab;
- Scroll down and on the right locate, “authorize a representative(s)”;
- Click “add” and then click “Start”;
- Enter Business number, 119479061;
- Once the Firm information appears, click “next”
- The Authorize my Representative – authorization level screen will appear. Under the authorization level section, Click “Level 2”;
- Under the Online Access section, click “Yes”.
- Under the Expiry Date section, leave the expiry date blank and click “next”.
- The Authorize my Representative – Review section will appear. Review all your information entered and then click the required confirmation box and submit.
Once you complete these steps, our Firm will have online CRA access for your account.
Please note that all clients are required to have a CRA My Account to approve the two-factor authentication request. Clients without a CRA My Account will be required to apply for one.
