Filer Identification Number (FIN) change
Starting in January 2010, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will be processing information returns using the Business Number (BN) in order to simplify filing and processing.
In the future, the FIN will be converted to the BN. If you are required to file either the T5, T5007, T5008, T5013 or the RRSP contribution receipts, you will be asked to file your returns and receipts using the BN instead of the FIN.
The CRA will be notifying all filers of their new converted BN by letter. If you have not received your BN by December 2009, please call 1-800-959-5525 (English).
If you are filing these returns on behalf of others then you might want to give them some notice that you will be requiring this number and they should contact you once they receive it. Failing to put this number on a return will be subject to a fine.

Welcome to inTAXicating.
My name is Warren Orlans and this is my blog. With over 17-years experience in the taxation industry, 11 of them working for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and the rest working in the private sector at large financial institutions responsible for resolving tax issues for corporations and individuals and the Canadian lead for a large US bank on FATCA implementation.
My tax career began pretty much out of university at the CRA, in Collections, where I moved up, across, over and up again through their division with stops in Enforcement, Taxpayer Relief (then Fairness), Audit, Directors Liability, Training, Mentoring, GST, GST/HST, Payroll, Corporate Tax, Personal tax, and probably much more.
If you have a collections, compliance or audit issue with the CRA, MRQ, IRS or with the CRTC, WSIB or any aspect of those agencies, inTAXicating is the place you need to contact.
inTAXicating has entered into a strategic partnership with Goldhar and Associates, to create Goldhar Tax Solutions. This partnership allows my team to include amazing tax lawyers, insolvency practitioners, mortgage brokers, debt counselling experts and much more.
When dealing with governments, knowledge is power. We possess strong understanding of government so we know what the next step is before the government does.
When you have a collections problem with the CRA, do you hire a graphic artist? No, you get a former collector who trained the staff, and who worked as a resource officer for 5 years. Then you know you are on the right track to resolving your tax problem(s).
Others offer suggestions. We offer solutions!
