When you owe money – collections at the CRA

Reminder: The CRA has resumed its work to address taxpayer debt. Benefit and credit payments and tax refunds may be applied to pay down outstanding balances. If your debt repayment causes significant financial hardship, please contact the CRA directly to discuss your options – even if you have a payment plan in place already.


Learn more about how specific benefits will be impacted at canada.ca/balance-owing.

New payment option available

The CRA has improved the payment options available in My Account / My Business Account (MyBA) by adding the option to Schedule a series of payments. If you can't pay your debt right away, you may be able to use this option to make manageable payments over a set period of time.
