Help for small business owners.
Through the Liaison Officer service, the Canada
Revenue Agency (CRA) offers free in-person support
and guidance to small businesses and self-employed
individuals to help you meet your tax obligations.
Want to save time and money?
CRA liaison officers are available across Canada to
help ensure that business owners like you understand
your tax obligations and are aware of possible tax
deductions. Liaison officers will also explain how to
avoid common errors that could end up costing time
and money. You can request an in-person visit, or
small business groups can request a seminar.
How does it work?
- During a visit or seminar, a liaison officer will:
- Answer tax-related questions
(income tax, GST/HST and payroll) - Discuss business tax deductions
- Explain common tax errors and financial
benchmarks for your industry or a comparable one - Provide an overview of helpful tools and services
offered by the CRA - Explain general bookkeeping concepts and best
practices or, during in-person visits, offer advice
and help with setting up an effective bookkeeping
system for your business.
