How to pay using online banking:
If you have a business bank account, you can pay your business taxes the same way you pay your phone or hydro bill.

Federal – Corporation Tax Payments – TXINS
Federal – GST/HST Return – GST 34 – (GST34)
Federal Payroll Deductions – Regular/Quarterly – EMPTX – (PD7A)
Federal Payroll Deductions – Threshold 1 – EMPTX – (PD7A)

How to pay in person at a financial institution:
To make a payment at your Canadian financial institution, you need a personalized remittance voucher. Financial institutions will not accept photocopies of remittance vouchers or payment forms. A personalized remittance voucher will be mailed to you after your tax return has been filed. Note: the remittance voucher could take up to a few weeks to come in the mail.
How to pay through mail delivery:
To make a payment through mail delivery, mail your cheque along with the remittance form CRA sent to you to Canada Revenue Agency, Tax Centre, 66 Stapon Road, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 3M2. The front of the cheque should include your business number and a description of the payment i.e. “2015 Corporate income taxes”.
