The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) provides a 1-800 telephone service to provide tax information to Canadian taxpayers. Such information can be general in nature, or can involve the specific tax affairs of the particular taxpayer.

The CRA has announced that that telephone service, which can be reached at 1-800-959 8281, will have extended hours during the 2018 tax filing season. Specifically, from February 26 to April 30, 2018, telephone agents will be available to answer questions Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The service is closed on Sundays, on all statutory holidays and on Easter weekend.
