How to Contact GST in Canada thumbnail
You have a number of options for contacting the CRA regarding GST inquiries.

As of 2010, the Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a 5% sales tax administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that is applied to most goods and services. Individuals may wish to contact the CRA regarding GST refunds, credits and current rates; businesses may wish to contact the CRA regarding what products and services qualify as tax-exempt, how to file GST returns and how to set up a GST account. Individuals contacting the CRA should be prepared to give their social insurance number and businesses should be prepared to give their business number.
