Tuesday is the last day to file your taxes without penalty and with that Canada Revenue Agency scams are picking up in our area.
The CKDR Newsroom has received several complaints of attempted CRA scams in recent days.
They include phone calls, texts and emails claiming you owe money and threaten jail time if you don’t pay immediately.
Officials stress they never threaten anyone for payment of delinquent accounts.
With the warning comes a reminder that this is deadline day to file.
If you have a balance owing, the total amount is also due today.
Filing your return by the deadline helps you avoid interest and penalties you may owe.
It also helps avoid interruptions to receiving benefits and credit payments, such as the Canada Child benefit and GST/HST credit.
