You'll have to confirm your company details, contractors, and review the payment accounts to create the XML file for filing T5018, Charlene.
First, confirm the following company details:
- The most common business number format is 000000000RZ0000.
- Filer contact information must contain the contact details of the person who is filing the forms.
Next, review these details:
- Select the correct account you used to make payments to your contractors from the dropdown.
- Select the amounts if you’d like to see more details. This takes you to the detail report in the reports section outlined below in a new tab.
- You can uncheck contractors you do not want to file forms for in this step.
- Make sure that your contractor details are correct. If not, update them in the Supplier profile that can be opened by selecting Edit.
After this, you can e-file the T5018 form and prepare your 6-digit transmitter number. If you're unsure, you can use the default number 555555. Once ready, download the XML file and visit the CRA portal to e-file.
