Who doesn’t love credit card points?  

Everyone hates taxes.  

So why not use your credit card to pay your taxes and make it a little less painful?

One of the services we like is https://www.paysimply.ca/cra/.

You can use your credit card and pay your government taxes.  Simple enough.  

Some of the various balances you could pay are:

-Personal taxes owing

-Corporate taxes owing

-GST/HST amounts owing

-Installments of all these!

With Canadian income taxes and sales taxes like GST and HST you don’t want to be late owing them.  I have seen it a number of times the CRA will contact your bank and just take the money out of your account!  I’ve seen collectors calling clients and asking them to go to their bank, and ask for a loan to pay their taxes!  And if the bank won’t give them a loan they want a letter showing that they couldn’t get approved.

So, why not pay your taxes using a credit card and paying tax installments even!  Then you don’t have to worry about interest charges from the CRA accumulating during the year or late payment penalties.

There is a small fee to make the payments using your credit cards, however if you have a good reward card like Amex Platinum http://amex.ca/share/rOBC2sX7?XLINK=MYCP then the rewards should outweigh the costs.  This could also be useful if you have new credit cards and you need to make your minimum spend for getting bonus points, why not pay taxes with it?  If you don’t have amounts owing, you could even pay on account/installments.

They also offer a huge number of other various bills you can pay including various government tax bills and more.
