Claim a provincial tax refund without retyping your business details

Taxpayers applying for a provincial tax refund repeat legal name, business number, mailing address, and account identifiers on every Ministry of Finance refund application. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Retail sales tax — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Refund — 013-0255

What this form is about

Form 013-0255 is the general Application for Refund used for certain Ontario provincial tax refunds — confirm which tax program applies on ontario.ca.

Before you start: what to gather

• Legal name or business name and mailing address.
• Business number or ministry account number.
• Tax period and refund basis with supporting records.
• Authorized representative details if someone files for you.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your name, address, and business or account identifiers in your hivi profile.
2. Keep documents ready. Upload supporting documents to hivi Files so you are not searching at form time.
3. Autofill the form. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
4. Review and submit yourself through the official channel.
