A Business Number relates to a business as a Social
Insurance Number (SIN) relates to an individual. CCRA
issues this nine-digit number when you register for any
the of 4 CCRA accounts:
- GST
- payroll deductions (income tax, Canada Pension Plan,
Employment Insurance)
- importer/exporter
- corporate income tax
This number is designed to simplify and streamline interaction
with CCRA. Related information is available at the Canada-Ontario
Business Service Centre Web
site.
PS: A Business Number (BN) is not to be confused with a
Business Identification Number (BIN). If you register your
business name, you will receive a Business Identification
Number as part of your Master Business Licence from
the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Business Services
(see "How
do I legally register a business?").
