Where Should I Send a Non-Resident GST/HST Registration Request/Application?

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Cyndee Todgham Cherniak

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), local taxation offices for submitting registration applications for GST/HST purposes keeps on changing.  Here is the LINK to the latest version of the CRA's offices handling registrations filed by non-residents.  It took me over 10 minutes to find it today.

Please note that you generally must fax the request for a business number and it can take over 10 days for the CRA to process the request and issue a GST/HST number.

It used to be that I could walk across the street to 1 Front Street, stand in line at the Business Window, file a client's forms and get a number - Not any more.  All requests for registration must be sent to the CRA by fax and I must wait patiently with my client for a number to arrive in the mail.
