The CRA wishes businesses a happy and successful holiday season!

This holiday season, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is recognizing the importance of small business to our economy. We know how hard you've been working to rebuild and grow, and want to remind you that we are here to help—now and throughout the year!

The CRA is always working hard to serve businesses – we are listening, learning, and challenging ourselves to do better. We are committed to providing businesses with information that is meaningful and easy to understand. Check out the answers to five of the top business tax information questions as you move through the holidays.
