Hi Darren,

These are new fields required by CRA and it is mentioned in the release notes Payroll Update Release Notes.

T619 Electronic Transmittal for 2025 The T619 has been updated for tax year 2025.

Hope this helps!

Doesn't actually help at all. As mentioned, many employers do not log on to their CRA account using a RepID. Sage is forcing an entry there to save the xml file and it's is not always applicable. 

Hi Darren, 

Sage is just complying with CRA requirements for 2025.. I'm not sure Sage has a choice in this matter.

I looked on CRA site and can't find any mention that this is optional, if you have some documentation from CRA or a link, I'd be happy to forward it to our Developers for review..

Hi Darren, 

can you try BN15 Account and put in the Tax number, I believe you can upload without a REPID.

Regards,

DCrampton

The XML file will not generate if we leave that Rep ID field blank, regardless of BN9 or BN15 above. 

if you just removed the middle line, does it upload?  this is if you leave the RepID field blank.

<TransmitterRepID>
</TransmitterRepID>

Can't leave the RepID blank though. It will not create the XML file without something in there. I have to add something in that field to save it, then I open the XML file and remove all 3 lines. It then is accepted by CRA without errors.

Having the samed issue... Is their a "solution" on the way ?

Working on a hot fix.
