Path Parameters
Body
application/json
The id of a CRA remittance account in the same business entity whose enrollments this account should follow. When set, work assignments enrolled in that CRA account are automatically enrolled in this account with matching effective dates, and manual enrollments on this account become unavailable. Only a Revenue Québec account may be linked, and only to a CRA account. An account that is the default for its authority cannot be linked; set is_default to false in the same request to link it. Clearing the value releases the generated enrollments, which stay in place and become editable and deletable again.
Available options:
ca_benefit_provider, ca_provincial_government, ca_tax_agency, ca_union, ca_workers_compensation Maximum string length:

The authority to which remittances are made for this account. This is used to determine how to remit payments for this account. Employer Health Tax (EHT) and Workers' Compensation (WCB) authorities are limited to one account, per province, per business entity; creating a second for an authority that already has one is rejected.
Available options:
ca_ab_workers_compensation, ca_bc_eht, ca_bc_workers_compensation, ca_cra, ca_mb_eht, ca_mb_workers_compensation, ca_nb_workers_compensation, ca_nl_eht, ca_nl_workers_compensation, ca_ns_workers_compensation, ca_nt_government, ca_nt_workers_compensation, ca_nu_government, ca_nu_workers_compensation, ca_on_eht, ca_on_workers_compensation, ca_pe_workers_compensation, ca_rq, ca_sk_workers_compensation, ca_yt_workers_compensation When true, this account is used for auto-enrollment of new work-assignments, and work-assignments without an existing enrollment for this authority. Only one account per authority per business may be the default at a time.
When false, the account's account_identifier cannot be updated. Becomes false once the account is used on a non-draft payroll and an account_identifier is set; returns to true when every referencing payroll is reverted to draft or deleted.
When false, the account cannot be deleted. Becomes false once the account is referenced by any non-draft payroll; returns to true when every referencing payroll is reverted to draft or deleted.
The CRA remittance account whose enrollments this account follows, when it is a linked account; otherwise null.
Available options:
ca_benefit_provider, ca_provincial_government, ca_tax_agency, ca_union, ca_workers_compensation Maximum string length:
255The translation of the label property for the request locale. Computed using the values in label and label_translations and the value of the request's Accept-Language header.
Maximum string length:
255The CRA remitter type for this account, which determines remittance due dates and reporting frequency. When null, falls back to the business entity's remitter type.
Available options:
accelerated_threshold_1, accelerated_threshold_2, quarterly, regular Whether remittances for this account are filed manually by the employer (manual) or handled automatically by Nmbr (automatic). Only accounts Nmbr can remit on your behalf (CRA, RQ, and Employer Health Tax authorities) may be set to automatic; all others are always manual.
