Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency

The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) was the former name of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the federal agency responsible for administering tax laws and various benefit programs in Canada. Its main functions include collecting taxes from individuals and businesses, ensuring compliance with tax regulations, and distributing benefits like the Canada Child Benefit. The CRA also oversees customs for goods entering Canada, ensuring proper duties and taxes are paid. By managing these aspects, the agency plays a crucial role in funding public services and promoting fair taxation across the country.
