Registering a Business Number (BN)
Get Your Business Number (BN) Registered with Ease
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.
What Is a Business Number and Why Do You Need One?
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).
TIP: Regardless of your business structure—incorporated, sole proprietor, or partnership—having a Business Number ensures smooth tax and regulatory compliance.
