How CRA Verifies Your Income, Deductions, and Credits

Published on: November 12, 2025

CRA uses third‑party data and analytics to verify income and deductions.
Verification Methods:

  • Third‑party reporting from employers and banks.
  • Data matching and risk analytics.
  • Requests for receipts, invoices, and contracts.
  • Statistical profiling and audits.

What CRA Looks For:

  • Unsupported deductions or credits
  • Personal vs. business expense errors
  • Inflated claims or inconsistencies
