Some time ago, I complained about the CRA’s decision to close its mail rooms to the public in the name of cost-cutting. Many of you echoed my complaints in subsequent conversations and emails. It appears the CRA has changed its mind:
In recognition of the value that some taxpayers and tax practitioners place on date stamping, the CRA will implement uniform date stamping on demand in all local offices. The service will consist of placing a stamp on envelopes received at local office counters for deposit in drop-boxes.
