π New GST/HST business account? Keep an eye out for an automated CRA call.
If youβre a business owner or self-employed individual who recently opened a new GST/HST account, the CRA may contact you through an automated call to remind you about your GST/HST tax obligations.
A few important things to know:
β
The calls are intended to provide reminders about your tax obligations.
β
The CRA will not ask for personal information through these automated calls.
β
If you recently registered for a GST/HST account, itβs a good idea to stay aware of your filing and payment responsibilities.
Tax deadlines are easier to manage when you know whatβs coming. π
