flag Canada's tax call centres answered individual tax questions correctly only 17% of the time in late 2025, but improvements are underway.

flag A federal auditor general’s report released October 21, 2025, found Canada Revenue Agency call centres provided accurate answers to individual tax questions only 17% of the time between February and May 2025, with business tax and benefits inquiries at 54% accuracy. flag Average wait times were 31 minutes, and only 18% of calls were answered within 15 minutes. flag The CRA has since improved, answering 77% of calls by mid-October under a 100-day plan launched by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, which includes hiring more agents, extending hours, and expanding AI tools. flag Despite progress, challenges remain, including staffing shortages, backlogs, and ongoing concerns about service quality and public trust.
