CRA has started putting up notices on the CRA My Business Account system that, beginning in January 2025, online mail will be the default for delivering most business correspondence. This does not mean that a charity must be on the CRA MyBA system, but if you are not on the system, you will be at a significant disadvantage.
Funnily enough, with the Postal Strike, we blogged about the importance of using the MyBA system only 2 days ago.
Here is the notice from CRA:
Starting in the spring of 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will transition to online mail as the default method of delivering most
business correspondence. This means you’ll begin to receive your business tax notices and other correspondence through My
Business Account. To prepare for this change, access Notification Preferences in your Profile to ensure you have a valid email address
on file to receive email notifications on important tax notices and other information.
There are a multitude of reasons why every charity should be on the MyBA system. If your charity is not on the system, it could cost your charity dearly in the future.
