CRA refunding $647 million collected from repealed digital service tax

The Canada Revenue Agency is refunding approximately $647 million collected as a result of the now-defunct digital services tax.

The federal Liberals repealed it in an attempt to keep trade talks on track last summer, when U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cut Canada off.

“Before the government halted collection of the digital services tax on June 30, 2025, the Canada Revenue Agency collected approximately $647 million,” CRA media relations officer Nina Ioussoupova told National Post in an email on Friday.
