The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employes its own staff to manage tax-related issues, but also partners with private collection agencies for tax recovery.

 CRA employees

• Official employees of the CRA
• Assist with tax returns, audits, collections, inquiries, etc.
• CRA employees contact taxpayers though official communication methods like mail or phone
• They have a CRA identification number and will use it to identify themselves

 CRA collections

• Not employees of the CRA but authorized to work for them in a limited capacity
• The CRA may collect unpaid taxes through private collection agencies
• These collection agencies will clearly identify themselves
• Payments are always made to the Receiver General for Canada and NOT the collection Agency
