Canada Customs and Revenue Agency

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) administers:

tax laws for the Government of Canada and for most provinces and territories;
international trade legislation; and
various social and economic benefit and incentive programs delivered through the tax system.

The CRA was known as Revenue Canada up until November 1, 1999, when it became the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA). The CCRA name remained until December 12, 2003, when Canadian customs operations were spun off into the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). As a result, the customs portion of the name was dropped, and the CCRA became the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Despite the name changes, Canadians often refer to the CRA by its two former names.
