Revenue Canada (Canada Revenue Agency)

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), formerly known as Revenue Canada, is a government agency responsible for administering tax laws and programs in Canada. Its main roles include collecting income taxes from individuals and businesses, administering benefits and credits such as the Canada Child Benefit, and overseeing compliance with tax laws. The CRA ensures taxpayers meet their legal obligations, provides guidance on tax matters, and handles audits and enforcement when necessary. Essentially, it funds public services and programs by managing the collection and distribution of federal and provincial revenues while supporting a fair and efficient tax system.
