CRA is going on strike

The CRA announced late last night that their workers will be going on strike starting Wednesday, April 19.

We are expecting that there will be disruptions to all CRA services including processing times for income tax returns, particularly those filed by paper, and increased wait times when contacting the CRA. Those who received an invitation to file their taxes over the phone using “File my Return” services between March and the end of 2023 may also be impacted.

Benefit payments including the Canada Child Benefit will still be prioritized.

Online services, including MyAccount, Express NOA (Notice of Assessments, will likely still be available.

While DABC stands in solidarity with CRA union workers in their right to strike, we are committed to supporting our clients in filing their taxes as best we can.
