Improving your tax literacy

Tax literacy means knowing how to make informed tax decisions.

Boosting your understanding of taxes will help you make informed tax decisions, allowing you to:

  • Take advantage of deductions that lower the amount of tax you owe
  • Get benefit and credit payments you are eligible for
  • File your tax return with confidence
  • Plan, budget, and save for your future

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is here to help navigate the complexities and provide you with tools to support you in managing your tax affairs.
