Following the CBSA's spin-off, the CCRA was rebranded as the Canada Revenue Agency, with its strategic direction pivoting towards enforcing compliance with Canada's tax laws and delivering benefits to Canadians. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CRA joined several other government departments in transitioning to temporary telecommuting arrangements. The CRA also extended deadlines for filing returns and payments for the 2019 tax year. The Agency was also tasked with delivering emergency financial benefits to Canadians on behalf of the federal government, processing millions of applications through its IT systems.
