About Ontario Pay and File

Ontario Pay and File is a simple and secure online service for you to make payments to the Ontario government.

Tax programs are not currently supported by the Ontario Pay and File portal.  Only select non-tax programs may submit payments at this time.  If you have any questions about payment eligibility for your invoice, please email payandfilesupport@ontario.ca.

You can make a payment using this service if you have a received an invoice or statement that includes a mail insert promoting this payment option.

We will continue to improve this service, including expanding the list of programs you can make payments for. A new feature will be launched in the future that will enable you to electronically submit documents and payments to the Ontario government.
