Disclaimer for using certified tax software
  • The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) does not look at the privacy policies of software developers.

    It is your responsibility to research the policies before buying or using the tax software.

  • The use of the software is the responsibility of the user and the software developer.

    The CRA cannot be held responsible if omissions or programming errors affect the calculation of amounts payable.

Tax software companies whose products are certified for NETFILE are not representatives of the CRA. You are not obliged to send personal information directly to the tax software company when you ask for software assistance. Email is not a secure method of communication. Sending personal information by email is a big concern and increases the risk of identity theft.

The CRA respects the Official Languages Act and the relevant Treasury Board policies, and it is committed to making sure all information and services on this site are available in English and French. However, users should be aware that some information from external sources that do not have to follow the Official Languages Act is offered only as a convenience and is available only in the language in which it was provided to the CRA.
