Have you received a call claiming to be from CRA but are unsure if it is legitimate?

CRA has launched a webpage –  https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/scams-fraud/verify-cra-contact.html to assist taxpayers in determining whether the call is actually from CRA. Taxpayers can go to the webpage and enter the 10-digit number that they were given to call back. The website will automatically confirm the validity of the phone number. CRA also reminded taxpayers not to rely on the number displayed on their caller ID. Only phone numbers listed on the CRA website can be found using this tool. It does not include individual CRA employees’ direct work numbers.

Tip – whenever not sure, get the caller’s information such as the person’s name, agent ID, office location and a call back number and verify this information at the above link, before calling back.
