Revenue Canada (CRA)

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is the government agency responsible for administering Canada's tax laws and programs. It collects taxes from individuals and businesses, ensuring compliance with tax regulations. The CRA also manages benefit programs like the Canada Child Benefit and the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credits. Its role includes processing tax returns, issuing refunds, and providing taxpayer assistance. Essentially, CRA functions as Canada's tax authority, helping fund public services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure through the collection and management of tax revenues.
