GST62 is the non-personalized GST/HST return. Unlike a personalized GST34-2 package, it does not arrive pre-filled for a specific registrant and reporting period. It may be relevant when an appropriate paper return is needed; it does not itself grant an exemption from mandatory electronic filing. CRA: form order list
Where to get GST62
CRA lists GST62 through My Business Account, Represent a Client, and its online forms-ordering service. CRA’s paper-filing page also offers an online GST62 request or phone contact. CRA says a blank return cannot be downloaded outside the online CRA account. A separate downloadable working copy is for calculating figures and must not be mailed as the return.

Complete and submit the correct return
If paper filing is appropriate for your situation, use the form CRA provides, identify the account and period, and enter the reconciled sales, tax, ITCs, adjustments and credits that apply. Sign and send it to the address printed on the return; keep a copy and the underlying records. If payment is due, follow CRA’s payment and voucher instructions for the correct period. The CRA’s regular-method instructions explain the return lines.
For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, most GST/HST registrants must file electronically. Charities and selected listed financial institutions are excepted, and CRA considers exemption requests case by case. Paper nil returns, refund claims and returns offset by a rebate or refund cannot be filed at a financial institution. CRA: paper filing
Some non-registrants have specialized real-property reporting obligations; do not assume a regular GST62 return is suitable for every property purchase or sale. CRA lists other specialized returns for particular situations. CRA: return types
