The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds Canadians that they must report all of their income. Individuals working in industries where cash transactions are prevalent must take extra care to accurately report their income and to maintain the documentation they need to support the income they report.

The CRA continues to vigorously enforce the provisions of the tax laws to ensure that all Canadians pay their taxes. This provides a level playing field for all taxpayers and protects the social and economic well-being of all Canadians.

The following is now available on the CRA Web site:

Ottawa, Ontario, January 21, 2008…The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) wants to remind Canadians who earn tips and gratuities of the rules for reporting this income on their annual income tax returns. Restaurant servers, hairdressers, valets, taxi drivers and others who earn tips may not have all of their income recorded by the employer and therefore not included on their T4 slips.

The Income Tax Act is clear regarding the treatment of income from tips and gratuities: all tips are taxable and it is your responsibility to report any you receive. The CRA is committed to administering and enforcing the Income Tax Act in a fair and equitable manner, ensuring that the requirements under the law are met while respecting the rights of the individuals involved.
