You may be affected by Canada’s new Reporting Rules for Digital Platform Operators if you use digital platforms to earn income. These rules have been implemented to increase transparency and support compliance in the international tax community.
Under the rules, certain platform operators are now required to collect and report information on sellers considered to be reportable sellers to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). If you are a reportable seller, be aware of what is being reported by your platform operator(s) to ensure it’s accurate and consistent with what you report under existing tax obligations.
