GST469 - Direct deposit request

General information

Advantages of direct deposit include:

• Direct deposit is a safe, convenient, and time-saving way to receive your GST/HST refund and rebate payments.
• Confidentiality is completely assured.
• There is less risk of direct deposit payments being lost, stolen, or damaged than there is with cheques.
• Funds that are direct deposited will be available in your bank account on the same day that we would have mailed your cheque.
• Direct deposit information can be viewed online at www.cra.gc.ca/mybusinessaccount.

This is a one-time application. After the start of direct deposit, you must complete a new Form GST469, Direct Deposit Request to:

• change your financial institution;
• change the branch of your financial institution; or
• change your account number.

Your request for direct deposit will remain in effect until you file a new form or cancel it. To stop direct deposit, use this form or call 1-800-959-5525.

If your financial institution advises us of a change in your financial institution number, branch number, or account number, we may redirect payments according to the information provided by the institution.

The account you identify must hold Canadian funds at a financial institution in Canada.

If for some reason we cannot deposit funds into the account, we will mail a cheque to you at the address we have on file.

Only GST/HST refunds or rebates can be deposited directly into the account you identify in Part B. We will continue to pay you by cheque until we process your form. For more information on direct deposit, visit our Web site at www.cra.gc.ca or call 1-800-959-5525.
