To deliver the Canadian government’s commitment to Canadian citizens, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) continues to expand its offering of online services and the number of online users is increasing. Taxpayers are using the CRA’s online services to submit their income tax and benefit returns. Taxpayers who file online and sign up for direct deposit can receive their tax refund within eight business days. Approximately 90% of Canadian taxpayers are submitting their tax returns online. The auto-fill return is intended to relieve the compliance burden for taxpayers by automatically filling in certain parts of their current and previous-year returns.
