‼️ Ottawa sets 100 day timeline, in hopes of fixing MAJOR CRA call center delays. 🇨🇦 Will it work? Leave your thoughts in the comments. 👇
------‐‐-------------------------------------------------------------------
If the government is serious, here are five obvious practical steps that could form the backbone of a 100-day plan:

1. Implement callback queues and a scheduling system: End the “full glass of water” excuse. Allow taxpayers to keep their spot in line and receive a callback instead of being dropped even if the callback occurs on a different day (give the taxpayer the option for that). And get that scheduling system pilot well underway. Direct routine questions to automation only when taxpayers consent.

2. Set hard service standards: For example, set a standard of answering a high percentage of calls within the shortest period, with the option of getting the callback or scheduled call as per above.

3. Expand the dedicated telephone service for income tax professionals: Presently, the dedicated telephone service for professionals is only for technical matters and is not able to deal with account or other administrative issues for professionals’ clients. There should be a dedicated service for this. In conjunction with this, make the “represent a client” process more efficient and quicker.

4. Independent oversight: Establish a call centre ombudsperson to review complaints and publicly report on performance and systemic failures.

5. Train new hires better: Unfortunately, it’s been too apparent that new hires of the CRA are not trained well. That needs immediate improvement.

On the 100th day of the minister’s action plan — Dec. 11 — the CRA’s call centre problems won’t magically vanish. But Canadians should at least see a realistic plan that includes the above.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day!💰 1% Federal Income Tax Reduction starts today! 🙌

Effective July 1, 2025, lowest personal income tax rate will be reduced from 15% to 14%. Per CRA, the maximum tax savings will be $210 in 2025 & $420 in 2026 per person.

HOWEVER, given the non-refundable credit rate also reduces from 15% to 14%, majority of taxpayers will see very minimal savings as a result (roughly only $34 in 2025 & $68 in 2026).
Additionally, many will see even less benefit & actually end up paying more in taxes with credits such as medical, dependant, tuition, disability, home buyers, etc being reduced by 1%.

Employees will see an immediate reduction in taxes withheld on payday & other sources of income will realize this reduction when they file their 2025 tax return.
