Configuring Required Equipment
To use a certified sales recording system (SRS), you must obtain a mandatory billing file number by asking us to open your taxi business operator file in one of the following ways:
- Use the online service for managing your remunerated passenger transportation file found under Other Tax Obligations in My Account for businesses.
- Complete the Application to Open or Close an Operator File (TR-350.61-V).
- Use the Register for the GST/HST and QST – Drivers for a Transportation System Operator Under Agreement online service, if you are not already registered for the GST/HST and QST and you want to become a driver for a transportation system operator under agreement such as Uber.
Once you have received your file number, we will send you an authorization code so that you can configure your SRS and obtain a digital certificate.
Your authorization code is confidential. You are responsible for its use and must keep it in a secure location.
Configuring your equipment allows you to:
- implement the necessary security measures to protect the confidential information shared online between the SRS and our systems;
- identify the SRS and user for each transaction sent to us.
