Great idea? Potential risks? Key considerations? Impossibility...?
On September 16, 2025, CRA emailed stakeholders seeking feedback on the future of automatic personal tax filing in Canada to support lower-income individuals in filing their taxes and obtaining benefit and credit payments. CRA is specifically seeking insights on opportunities and considerations in expanding automatic tax filing tools and services, as well as feedback on CRA's current efforts (such as the SimpleFile service).
Share your wisdom and insights with CRA to *hopefully* ensure that these initiatives work as intended, with minimal collateral damage.
Consultation closes October 9, 2025.
