What is an Authorized Representative?

An Authorized Representative in the context of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is an individual or entity authorized by a taxpayer to act on their behalf in various tax-related matters. This authorization allows the representative to interact with the CRA, access the taxpayer's tax information, and perform tasks on their behalf. Authorized Representatives play a crucial role in helping taxpayers manage their tax affairs efficiently and accurately.

The scope of an Authorized Representative's responsibilities can vary, but it typically includes tasks such as filing tax returns, making inquiries, responding to notices or audits, and seeking information about the taxpayer's account. The authorization can be specific to a particular tax matter or cover a broader range of tax-related activities.
