Balance owing and collection notices

A balance owing may arise from your return, a reassessment, instalment interest or an old debt.

First, confirm the amount in My Account, because scammers imitate these letters. Then:

• Pay as much as you can. See how to pay the CRA.
• If you cannot pay, read if you cannot pay.
• If you think it is wrong, ask us to review it or consider an objection.

Interest compounds daily, so waiting raises the amount. A collections notice needs fast attention, even if it comes with a dispute.
