A remission order is a rare and extraordinary measure.

Remission provides full or partial relief from federal tax, interest, penalty, or other debt paid or payable under legislation administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

There are many ways the CRA can help you address your debt. Remission is an avenue of last resort and may be considered where relief is warranted but can't be achieved under applicable tax laws, through an assessment, or through other actions.

You should consider all other options to address your debt before submitting a request for a remission review.
