In order to provide greater flexibility to Canadians who may be experiencing hardships during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Canada Revenue Agency has enacted the following programs and benefits:
- Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB)
- Canada Recovery Caregiver Benefit (CRCB)
- Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB)
Please note: Effective immediately, the CRA will temporarily accept electronic signatures as authorization on forms T183 and T183CORP.
We encourage all individuals who expect to receive benefits under the GSTC or the Canada Child Benefit not to delay the filing of their return, in order to ensure their entitlements for the 2020-21 benefit year are properly determined.
