Federal union denounces CRA decision to end tax drop boxes, calls for reversal
- The Canada Revenue Agency will stop accepting tax documents through its 45 remaining drop boxes after May 28, requiring users to switch to electronic filing, mail, or in-person payments at Canada Post outlets.
- The volume of submissions via drop boxes fell from about two million six years ago to roughly 430,000 recently, with concerns over processing delays and security issues such as break-ins cited by the CRA.
- The Union of Taxation Employees has urged the government to suspend this decision and consult stakeholders, warning that it will reduce accessibility to tax services for many Canadians, including seniors and small business owners.
- The union argues that ending drop box services sacrifices a free, accessible service to save money.
