How to get your T4 remittance balance from the CRA
The remittance balance is the credit to your payroll account with the CRA -- this is the sum of all money remitted to them for the year. If you joined Rise during the year, this would include amounts remitted by you or by your previous provider. If you’ve received any credits during the year they will be included in your total. It is important to compare the total provided by the CRA for your remittance balance against what we have in the system to ensure that what has been remitted for the year is what the CRA has received.
You can get this number in a couple of ways.
-
Call the CRA toll-free 1.800.959.5525. Press 6 to go straight to an agent.
When you reach an agent, give them your Business Number and your RP number. This will be a 9-digit number plus "RP 0001" (you may have several RP accounts, such as 0002, 0003).

4. Last two remittance payments: You can find this information by going to Reports > Custom Reports > Remittances. Look at the two most recent remittance payments and total them by Remittance due date.
