In Canada, a Personal Services Business (PSB) is a type of business that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) designates under certain conditions. The rules governing PSBs are stringent, and the tax treatment of a PSB is less favorable compared to other types of corporations. Here’s an overview of what constitutes a PSB and its implications:
Below is the updated overall information on Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan from CRA's official portal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The CRA will not send text messages, or instant messages (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp) to start a conversation with you under any circumstances.
If you receive a text or instant message purporting to be from the CRA, prompting you to click on a link or requesting information, you can safely delete it.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) might email you:
- to let you know that a new message is available on your CRA website account.
- to send you a link for a webpage, form, or publication that you requested during a call or meeting with a CRA representative.
- to let you know about tax credits and benefits for individuals or online services such as My account.
Numbers from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre show that direct calls remain the number one means of solicitation for fraudsters.
Although the CRA may contact you via phone to review your income tax and benefit return, it's important to note that legitimate government employees will always identify themselves with their name, employee number, and phone number.
