Does the cra send registered mail for pay ments

According to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), they do not typically send registered mail for payment purposes. Here's what they say:

"The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) does not send registered mail for payment purposes. If you receive a notice from the CRA that requires a payment, it is usually sent by regular mail or email. If you are unsure about the authenticity of a notice or payment request, you can contact the CRA directly to verify the information."

However, the CRA does use registered mail for certain purposes, such as:

  1. Sending notices related to audits, assessments, or other compliance activities.
  2. Sending notices related to tax credits or benefits.
  3. Sending notices related to tax returns or other tax-related documents.

If you receive a registered mail from the CRA, it's likely related to one of these purposes.
