They have the huge job of collecting income taxes from Canadians, as well as other jobs. Let's look a little more closely at how the CCRA handles income tax.

To help us with our income tax, the CCRA runs about 40 tax services offices across Canada, where we can get information and forms.

Every year, they collect income tax returns from 21,500,000 individual taxpayers and 1,200,000 corporations in Canada. They collect these tax returns at seven tax centres across Canada. There, they collect our forms, collect our money and mail out our cheques.

The CCRA sends a GST credit to 9,000,000 people. Also, they send the Canada Child Tax Benefit to 3,300,000 people.

So, you can see, the CCRA is many people spread out across Canada doing a very large job!
