Sub-standard : delays and lack of transparency in the Canada Revenue Agency’s processing of individual income tax and benefit returns and adjustment requests.: Rv10-18/2020E-PDF

"The CRA publishes standards for its processing times for returns and adjustment requests. The CRA has reported that for the most part, it meets or exceeds these published service standards. However, the Office of the Taxpayers’ Ombudsman regularly receives complaints about delays in the CRA processing returns and adjustment requests. It has been one of the top trends in complaints received and a top call driver since the 2015-2016 fiscal year. Over the same period of time, at outreach events and stakeholder meetings, the Ombudsman heard from many individuals, tax practitioners, and organizations about the impacts of delays in processing returns and adjustment requests... We therefore determined it was necessary to launch an examination to look into why so many filers report experiencing delays, and if indeed the CRA meets its published standards for processing returns and adjustment requests"--Page 2.
