You Might Have Hidden Money with the CRA

Yes, you read that right. The CRA has made a way for you to see if you have un-cashed cheques. This could include missed GST payments, HST payments (remember this?), tax refunds, etc. 

There are approximately $1 billion in cheques that have gone uncashed. This money belongs to Canadians and we're making it easy for them to get the money intended for them.

As of May 2019, approximately 5 million Canadians had an estimated 7.6 million uncashed cheques with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), dating back to 1998.

In order to reunite taxpayers with their long lost funds, we piloted a new uncashed cheque feature in My Account in early February. It lets taxpayers know if they have an uncashed cheque waiting for them and lets them request it be reissued.

There has not been a better time then now to see if you have some 'surprise' money waiting for you.
