Even though Alberta offers online options for remitting taxes, the traditional method can still be surprisingly frustrating. Multiple agency portals, unclear payment flows, and manual data entry make it feel like you’re stuck in a bureaucratic maze.

If you’re a business owner, landlord, or consultant in Alberta, here’s how the typical process looks—and how Remitian turns it into a few simple clicks.

The Traditional Way: Paying Alberta Taxes Manually

In Alberta, businesses often need to remit taxes such as:

• Corporate Income Tax (to the Canada Revenue Agency, not Alberta directly)

• Payroll remittances (CRA)

• GST/HST (CRA)

• Tourism Levy (if you operate accommodations, paid via Alberta.ca)

• Property Taxes (paid to your municipality)

Here’s a general breakdown of the manual experience:

1. Find the Right Portal

Each tax type is handled through a different portal:

• CRA My Business Account for GST/HST, payroll, and corporate taxes
  https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-businesses/business-account.html

• Alberta.ca for the Tourism Levy
  https://www.alberta.ca/tourism-levy-overview.aspx

• Municipal websites for property tax

2. Track Down CRA Login Credentials

You’ll need your CRA user ID and password (or sign in via bank login). If it’s been months since your last login, expect some password recovery hassle.

3. Manually Input All the Details

This includes:

• Business Number (BN)

• Tax period

• Payment amount

• Bank account details (or credit card info via third-party processors)

Missing a digit? You might trigger a delay or misapplied payment.

4. Save Your Confirmation (If You Remember)

Some portals will email a receipt, others won’t. Most require you to manually save a PDF or screenshot confirmation.

Why It Matters

If you manage an Airbnb in Banff, run a trucking company in Edmonton, or consult from your home office in Calgary, your taxes probably don’t all go to one place.

And while Canada’s tax system is digital, it’s far from streamlined.
