Enter a Transmitter number for FX or T3

About Transmitter numbers

ProFile FX module requires that a Transmitter number be provided in order to transmit an XML file.

The XML file has a section called T691 which acquires the MM number and builds a valid XML file for transmission to the CRA. For more information, visit the CRA: T619, Electronic Transmittal page.

Acquire a Transmitter number

Use generic Transmitter number MM555555 to file this return if you are filing only one return and do not have an existing Transmitter number.

Use the Transmitter number that the CRA assigned to you if you are filing more than one return. You can call the CRA or visit the CRA: Filing Information Returns Electronically page to acquire a Transmitter number.

Review the XML specifications to file electronically page on the CRA website for further details on submissions.
