You could authorize the CRA or other CRA services for pre-authorized debits (PAD) with your account. This will allow the CRA to automatically collect payroll remittance payments directly from your account.

Here are the steps to follow on the CRA website:

  1. Log into your CRA business account.

  2. Select 'Payroll' to access your payroll account.

  3. Choose the option to 'View and pay account balance.'

  4. Enter the amount you'd like to remit for payroll.

  5. Provide your Vault bank account details to set up the PAD.

The CRA prefers PAD for collecting payments, as it ensures timely payroll remittances. For more details, refer to the CRA Payment Guide.

Important: Please note that Vault Mastercard, both physical and virtual, cannot be used for payments to the CRA.
