Submit a service compliment or a suggestion

Compliments or suggestions

You can submit a compliment about a positive experience with the service that you received from the CRA. Your feedback will be forwarded onto the responsible manager and/or employee for recognition. A service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail as part of the review process.

You can submit a suggestion about improving the CRA service(s). Your feedback will be forwarded to the appropriate office or program area for consideration. A service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail as part of the review process.

Service complaints

You can submit a service complaint if you are not satisfied with the service that you received from the CRA. See Your Rights for more information on your service rights when dealing with the CRA. When reviewing your complaint, a service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail. How long it takes to resolve your complaint depends on the complexity of the situation. Service complaints can be about:

mistakes that could result in a misunderstanding or omission
undue delays
- (see service standards for normal processing times)
employee behaviour
poor or misleading information
accessibility barriers (for people with a mental or physical disability)
other service-related issues

If your complaint involves another issue, see non-service related complaints.

There are three steps in the service complaint process:

Step 1 – Talk to us first

You can try to resolve your concerns with the CRA employee you have been dealing with or call the telephone number provided in the CRA's correspondence. If you do not have the contact information, go to Contact the Canada Revenue Agency. If you still disagree with the way your concerns were addressed, you can ask to discuss the matter with the employee's supervisor.

If you are still not satisfied, you can file a service complaint.

Step 2 – File a service complaint

Complete the RC193 – Service Feedback online form or the pdf version of the form and submit it online, by fax or by mail.

After you submit your service complaint

The CRA takes all complaints very seriously. A service feedback officer will respond directly to your concerns in a fair and timely manner. How long it takes to resolve your complaint depends on the complexity of the situation. Our goal is to resolve your complaint within 30 business days.

Step 3 – Contact the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson

If you are still not satisfied with how the CRA handled your service complaint, you can contact the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson.

Generally, the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson will not review a service complaint until the CRA has finished its review.
