Every business operating in Canada needs a Business Number (BN)—a unique identifier assigned by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that is essential for tax filing, payroll, and other government-related services. Whether you are incorporating a company, registering as a sole proprietor, or setting up a GST/HST account, obtaining a BN is a necessary step.
At Westview Accounting & Tax Services Inc., we handle the entire Business Number registration process for businesses in North Vancouver, BC, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while making the process hassle-free for you.
A Business Number (BN) is a 9-digit identifier used to track your business interactions with the CRA and other government agencies. It is required for:
✔ Corporate Tax Filing (T2) – Incorporated businesses must have a BN to file corporate taxes.
✔ GST/HST Registration – If your business earns over $30,000 annually, you are required to register for and collect GST/HST.
✔ Payroll Accounts – If you hire employees, you’ll need a BN to set up payroll and remit source deductions.
✔ Import/Export Accounts – Required for businesses involved in international trade.
✔ Other CRA Accounts – A BN is necessary for opening provincial tax accounts (like BC PST).
Regardless of your business structure—incorporated, sole proprietor, or partnership—having a Business Number ensures smooth tax and regulatory compliance.
