What is service feedback

Service feedback can be a service complaint, suggestion or compliment about an experience you had with the CRA. We will send the feedback that you submit to the appropriate area within the CRA, where it will be reviewed.

By submitting feedback, you can help us improve our services.

Service feedback is about your experience with the CRA

Feedback may be about any of the following:

For feedback about accessibility: Submit accessibility feedback

If your feedback is not about a service experience

If you have feedback for the CRA that is not about the service you received, you have the following options:

  • If you disagree with or do not understand a letter, notice, payment, or other document you received from the CRA, ask the area it originated from for an explanation
  • If you want to dispute an assessment, determination or decision, review File an objection
  • If you disagree with the Income Tax Act or other tax legislation matters, contact the Department of Finance Canada

If your feedback is not about the CRA, contact the government department in question at Canada.ca.

Before you submit feedback

It may save you time to call us first depending on your situation. You can call the phone number provided in your CRA correspondence, or discuss your concerns with the employee you have been dealing with (or ask to talk to their supervisor).

If you don’t have a contact number, you can look up the number of the responsible program area on the CRA Contact page.

It may also be helpful to check CRA processing times.

Feedback confirmation

If your feedback is a complaint or if you request a reply, you should receive an initial phone call or letter to review your concerns within 3 to 4 weeks of the CRA receiving your feedback.

After you submit feedback

What happens after you submit

Your service feedback will be sent to the appropriate area within the CRA, where it will be reviewed. A service feedback officer may contact you by phone or letter as part of the review process.

Processing time

How long it takes to address feedback can vary depending on the complexity of the situation.

Our goal is to respond to complaints within 30 business days (6 weeks) of the date we receive them. Currently, due to an increase in feedback, it may take up to 60 business days (12 weeks) to respond to your concerns.

We will contact you by phone or letter to explain how the issue was addressed.
