CRA Reaches Out To Small Businesses

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has announced the launch of Small Business Information Webinars, as part of the tax department's ongoing efforts to assist Canadians in understanding their tax responsibilities and the assistance that can be provided by the CRA in this regard.

The CRA already distributes educational material for businesses through many communication channels, such as the CRA Web site, publications, small business information seminars, mailings, and its electronic distribution list.

The Revenue Agency explained that:

"The Small Business Information Webinars are a new interactive way for businesses to learn about their income tax and value-added tax responsibilities, and will also provide small enterprises a means to communicate with the CRA."

It continued:

"The Small Business Information Webinars have been established in addition to and in complement of the existing small business information seminars. Webinars allow the CRA to be more accessible, particularly to taxpayers that are either too far away to attend an information session, or that need information on specific topics."

The CRA is offering an additional suite of webinars focused on the HST for Ontario and British Columbia.
