Access code
To file your rebate you will need to enter the six-character access code you received in the mail. This access code is permanent - you can continue to use it to file future GST490 rebates. However, it cannot be used to file other types of rebates or returns.
If you have misplaced your access code or would like to change it, call Business Enquiries at 1-800-959-5525.
Confirmation of receipt
After you successfully submit your rebate application, you will receive a confirmation number. This confirmation number is your proof that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has received your application. Print the page with your confirmation number and keep it with your records. Do not mail paper copies of forms that you have submitted electronically.
After you've submitted your rebate application, we may have to contact you for more information. Keep all supporting documents for six years after the end of the year to which the documents relate.
