Note
Correct address information is crucial to your business accounts since it affects such things as the mailing of notices, returns, and remittance forms. Mailing addresses also determine the office of responsibility of an account.
Your business accounts could be: GST/HST, payroll, corporation, import/export, registered charity, or any other business account.
What is a physical address?
The physical address is the business or head office address. This address must be where the day-to-day activities take place.
It must represent the physical location of the actual business. You cannot use such things as RR#s or PO boxes as a business address. If a street address is not available, use the legal description of the location of the business. For example, Lot 1, Concession 2.
Can the mailing address be different from the physical address?
Yes, the mailing address can be different from the physical address. For example, you could have your business mail delivered to your home or your accountant.
Do you have different mailing addresses for each of your registered business accounts?
If you have different mailing addresses for your registered business accounts, you or your representative must notify us of the change of address.
